In one paragraph

Review in Cardiovascular diagnosis and therapy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06012266 (Dose Rationale for Dapagliflozin and Empagliflozin in Paediatric Heart Failure), which is not on this map. Cited by 33 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

Pediatric heart failure is a complex, heterogenous syndrome that occurs relatively rarely in children, but carries a high burden of morbidity and mortality. This article reflects on the current state of medical therapy for both acute and chronic pediatric heart failure, based on expert consensus guidelines, and the extrapolation of data from trials performed in adults. For the management of acute heart failure specifically, we rely on an initial assessment of the perfusion and volume status of a patient, to guide medical therapy. This paradigm was adapted from adult studies that demonstrated increased morbidity and mortality in heart failure patients whose hemodynamics or examination findings were consistent with a PCWP >18 mmHg and a CI ≤2.2 L/min/m
