Anaemia among Patients of Heart Failure in a Tertiary Care Centre of Nepal: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 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
introductionAnaemia is an important comorbidity common in patients with heart failure and is associated with poor clinical status and worse outcomes. In Nepal few studies have evaluated anaemia amongst patients suffering from heart failure. We intended to find out the prevalence of anaemia in patients with heart failure in a tertiary care centre.
methodsThis is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among patients of heart failure presenting to tertiary care hospital in eastern Nepal from April 2017 to January 2018. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee of a tertiary care centre (reference number: IRC/0842/016). Using the convenience sampling method, 100 patients were enrolled in the study. Blood samples from the patients were taken for haemoglobin and serum iron studies. Data was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 11. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated, with frequency and percentage.
resultsAmong 100 patients with heart failure, 82 (82%) (74.47-89.53 at 95% Confidence Interval) had anaemia. Mean haemoglobin level of the study population was 10.40±2.73 g/dl. Fifty four (54%) of patients had iron deficiency status irrespective of presence or absence of anaemia.
conclusionsPrevalence of anaemia among patients of heart failure in our study was found to be higher than various other homologous international studies.
