Worsening renal function in hospitalized patients with systolic heart failure: prevalence and risk factors.
Article in ESC heart failure, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
aimsHeart failure (HF) is usually associated with complications of other organs. Renal impairment is seen in a significant proportion of HF patients and is characterized by worsening renal function (WRF). WRF can be used for predicting symptom exacerbation in systolic HF. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of WRF among hospitalized patients with systolic HF. METHODS AND
resultsIn this cross-sectional study, data from medical records of 347 hospitalized patients diagnosed with HFrEF from 2019 to 2020, admitted to Tabriz Shahid Madani Heart Hospital, who met the predefined inclusion criteria, were retrieved. Patients were divided into two groups based on the in-hospital occurrence of WRF. Laboratory tests and para-clinical findings were collected and analysed using SPSS Version 20.0. Statistical significance was accepted at a P value of <0.05. In this study, 347 hospitalized patients with HFrEF were included. The mean (standard deviation) age was 62.34 (±18.87) years. The mean (SD) length of stay was 6.34 (±4) days. According to our findings, 117 patients (33.71%) had WRF. Following multivariate analysis of potential predictors of WRF occurrence, hyponatremia, haemoglobin concentration, white blood cell count and prior diuretic use were found to be independent predictors for WRF occurrence in patients with systolic heart failure.
conclusionsThis study revealed that in patients with WRF, mortality rate and length of stay were significantly greater than those of patients without WRF. Initial clinical characteristics of HF patients who developed WRF can help physicians identify patients with a higher risk of WRF.
