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

backgroundAchieving pharmacologic rate control in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) with rapid ventricular response (RVR) can be tricky when the patient's underlying cardiac function is decreased. We present a case illustrating how ivabradine can be useful in this clinical scenario. CASE SUMMARY: A 95-year-old woman with a history of systolic heart failure (HF) presented with acute decompensated HF in AF with RVR. Beta blockade and calcium channel blockade were avoided given her cardiac history, and diuresis with high doses of furosemide was ineffective. Her ventricular response slowed with ivabradine, allowing for rapid decongestion and a safe discharge home. DISCUSSION: Ivabradine acts on the
