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

Background Obesity and illicit drugs are independent risk factors for developing heart failure (HF). However, recent studies have suggested that patients who already have HF and are obese have better clinical outcomes. We aim to study the effect of cocaine use on this obesity paradox phenomenon as it pertains to HF readmissions. Methodology In a retrospective chart analysis, we reviewed patients with a diagnosis of HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) admitted to Metropolitan Hospital in New York. We studied the association between body mass index (BMI) categories, namely, non-obese (<30 kg/m
