1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The hemodynamic consequences of a persistent reduced ejection fraction and unknown cardiac output on the brain have not been thoroughly studied. We sought to explore the status of the mechanisms of cerebrovascular regulation in patients with heart failure with reduced (HFrEF) and recovered (HFrecEF) ejection fraction. We monitored cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) with transcranial Doppler and blood pressure. Cerebral autoregulation, assessed by transfer function from the spontaneous oscillations of blood pressure to CBFV and neurovascular coupling (NVC) with visual stimulation were compared between groups of HFrEF, HFrecEF and healthy controls. NVC was significantly impaired in HFrEF patients with reduced augmentation of CBFV during stimulation (overshoot systolic CBFV 19.11 ± 6.92 vs. 22.61 ± 7.78 vs. 27.92 ± 6.84,
