Is branched-chain amino acid nutritional supplementation beneficial or detrimental in heart failure?
Review in World journal of cardiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Sarcopenia or cachexia is often complicated in heart failure. Nutritional support, particularly branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) supplementation, is a candidate treatment for improving sarcopenia or cachexia in elderly patients. However, the efficacy of BCAA supplementation in patients with heart failure has not been established, and the issue is comparatively more complex. Indeed, there are conflicting reports on the efficacy of BCAA supplementation. The evidence for including BCAA supplementation in treating patients with heart failure was reviewed, and the complexity of the issue was discussed.
