Discharge-ready volume status in acute decompensated heart failure: a survey of hospitalists.
Article in Journal of community hospital internal medicine perspectives, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06921603 (Point-of-Care Ultrasound-Guided Diuresis for Acute Decompensated Heart Failure to Reduce 30-Day Readmissions and Acute Kidney Injury), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Abstract
Acute decompensated heart failure is the leading cause of hospitalization in older adults. Clinical practice guidelines recommend patients should be euvolemic at hospital discharge - yet accurate assessment of volume status is recognized to be exceptionally challenging. This conundrum led us to investigate how hospitalists are assessing volume status and discharge- readiness of patients hospitalized with heart failure. We collected audience response data during a didactic heart failure presentation at the 2019 Society of Hospital Medicine annual meeting. Respondents (n = 216), 76% of whom were practicing physician hospitalists caring for more than 20 acute heart failure patients per year, were presented six questions. Eighteen percent of respondents reported not being able to determine the completeness of decongestion on discharge and 32% reported that complete decongestion was not a treatment target. These findings suggest important differences between guideline recommendations and how hospitalists treat heart failure in current clinical practice.
