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

Aims: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is associated with stiffened myocardium and elevated filling pressure that may be captured by heart sound (HS). We investigated the relationship between phonocardiography (PCG) and echocardiography in symptomatic patients suspected of HFpEF. Methods and results: Consecutive symptomatic patients with sinus rhythm and left ventricular ejection fraction >45% were enrolled. Echocardiography was performed to evaluate the patients' diastolic function, accompanied by PCG measurements. Phonocardiography features including HS amplitude, frequency, and timing intervals were calculated, and their abilities to differentiate the ratio between early mitral inflow velocity and early diastolic mitral annular velocity ( Conclusion: Phonocardiography features stratify
