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

Over the past decade, the detrimental impact of iron deficiency in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction has become abundantly clear, showing a negative impact on functional status, quality of life, cardiac function and structure, exercise capacity and an increased risk of hospitalisation due to heart failure. Mechanistic studies have shown the impact of iron deficiency in altering mitochondrial function and negatively affecting the already altered cardiac energetics in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Such failing energetics form the basis of the alterations to cellular myocyte shortening, culminating in reduced systolic function and cardiac performance. The IRON-CRT trials show that ferric carboxymaltose is capable of improving cardiac structure and cardiac performance. This article discusses the effect of iron deficiency on cardiac function and structure and how it can be alleviated.
