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

backgroundPeak tricuspid regurgitation (TR) velocity and inferior cava vein (ICV) distention are two recognized features of increased pulmonary artery pressure (PASP) and right atrial pressure, respectively. Both parameters are related to pulmonary and systemic congestion and adverse outcomes. However, few data exist about the assessment of PASP and ICV in acute patients affected by heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Thus, we investigated the relationship existing among clinical and echocardiographic features of congestion, and we analyzed the prognostic impact of PASP and ICV in acute HFpEF patients. METHODS AND

resultsWe analyzed clinical congestion PASP and ICV value in consecutive patients admitted in our ward by echocardiographic examination using peak Doppler velocity tricuspid regurgitation and ICV diameter and collapse for the assessment of PASP and ICV dimension, respectively. A total of 173 HFpEF patients were included in the analysis. The median age was 81 and median left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 55% [50-57]. Mean values of PASP was 45 mmHg [35-55] and mean ICV was 22 [20-24] mm. Patients with adverse events during follow-up showed significantly higher values of PASP (50 [35-55] vs. 40 [35-48] mmHg, (

conclusionsICV dilatation provides additional prognostic information with respect to PASP in patients with acute HFpEF. A combined model adding PASP and ICV assessment to clinical evaluation is a useful tool for predicting HF related events.
