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

aimsRemote monitoring (RM) of thoracic impedance represents an early marker of pulmonary congestion in heart failure (HF). Chronic kidney disease (CKD) may promote fluid overload in HF patients. We investigated whether concomitant CKD affected the efficacy of impedance-based RM in the OptiLink HF trial. METHODS AND

resultsAmong HF patients included in the OptiLink HF trial, time to the first cardiovascular hospitalization and all-cause death according to the presence of concomitant CKD was analysed. CKD was defined as GFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m

conclusionsThe presence of CKD in HF patients led to a higher number of telemedical alert transmissions and increased the risk of the primary endpoint. Inappropriate handling of alert transmission was commonly observed in patients with chronic HF and CKD. Guidance of HF management by impedance-based RM significantly decreased primary event rates in patients without CKD, but not in patients with CKD.
