Protocol for Telehealth Evaluation and Follow-up of Patients With Chronic Heart Failure During the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Article in Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Because of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, we were forced to cancel scheduled visits for nearly 150 patients followed in our heart failure (HF) outpatient clinic. Therefore, we structured a telephone follow-up, developing a standardized 23-item questionnaire from which we obtained the Covid-19-HF score. The questionnaire was built to reproduce our usual clinical evaluation investigating a patient's social and functional condition, mood, adherence to pharmacological and nonpharmacological recommendations, clinical and hemodynamic status, pharmacological treatment, and need to contact emergency services. The score was used as a clinical tool to define patients' clinical stability and timing of the following telephone contact on the basis of the assignment to progressively increasing risk score groups: green (0-3), yellow (4-8), and red (≥9). Here we present our experience applying the score in the first 30 patients who completed the 4-week follow-up, describing baseline clinical characteristics and events that occurred in the period of observation.
