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

As recently reported, elevated fasting glucose plasma level constitutes a risk factor for 30-day total mortality in acutely decompensated chronic heart failure (CHF). Aim of this study was to evaluate the 30-day mortality risk in decompensated CHF patients by fasting glucose plasma level and some repolarization ECG markers. Method: A total of 164 decompensated CHF patients (M/F: 94/71; mean age, 83 ± 10 years) were studied; Tend (Te), QT interval (QT) and 5 min of ECG recordings were obtained, studying mean, SD and normalized index of the abovementioned ECG intervals. These repolarization variables and fasting glucose were analyzed to assess the 30-day mortality risk among these patients. Results: Thirty-day mortality rate was 21%, deceased subjects showed a significant increase in N terminal-pro-brain natriuretic peptide ( Conclusion: Data suggest that two simple, inexpensive, noninvasive markers, as fasting glucose and Te, were capable to stratify the short-term total and cardiovascular mortality risk in acutely decompensated CHF.
