Associations of body mass index and hospital-acquired disability with post-discharge mortality in older patients with acute heart failure.
Article in Journal of geriatric cardiology : JGC, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesTo investigate the effect of hospital-acquired disability (HAD) on all-cause mortality after discharge according to the body mass index (BMI) in older patients with acute decompensated heart failure.
methodsWe included 408 patients aged ≥ 65 years who were hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure and had undergone an acute phase of cardiac rehabilitation at the Sakakibara Heart Institute between April 2013 and September 2015 (median age: 82 years, interquartile range (IQR): 76-86; 52% male). Patients were divided into three groups based on BMI at hospital admission: underweight (< 18.5 kg/m
resultsThe median follow-up period was 475 (IQR: 292-730) days, and all-cause mortality during the follow-up period was 84 deaths (21%). According to multivariate Cox regression analysis, being underweight (HR: 1.941, 95% CI: 1.134-3.321,
conclusionsBMI and HAD independently predicted all-cause mortality after discharge in older patients with acute decompensated heart failure. Furthermore, HAD was significantly associated with higher all-cause mortality after discharge, especially in the underweight group.
