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

purpose of reviewTo summarize the current knowledge on the role that B lymphocytes play in heart failure. RECENT

findingsSeveral studies from murine models have shown that B cells modulate cardiac adaptation to injury and ultimately affect the degree of cardiac dysfunction after acute ischemic damage. In addition, a B cell-modulating small molecule was recently shown to have beneficial effects in humans with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. B lymphocytes are specialized immune cells present in all jawed vertebrates. They are characteristically known for their ability to produce antibodies, but they have other functions and are important players in virtually all forms of immune responses. A growing body of evidence indicates that B cells are intimately connected with the heart and that B cell dysregulation might play a role in the pathogenesis and progression of both heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. B cells are therefore gathering attention as potential targets for the development of novel immunomodulatory-based treatments for heart failure.
