Cognitive decline assessed using a brief screening test and cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular events in older patients with heart failure.

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
backgroundAlthough cognitive decline is recognized as a prognostic factor of heart failure (HF), the association of cognitive decline with specific clinical outcomes in patients with HF remains unclear.
aimThis study examines the relationship between cognitive decline using a brief test and cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular events in older patients with HF.
methodsThis study included 146 hospitalised patients with HF (median age, 77 years; male, 56.8%). Cognitive decline was defined as a score of ≤ 9 points on the Rapid Dementia Screening Test at the time of discharge.
resultsCumulative incidence of cardiovascular events after discharge was twofold higher in patients with cognitive decline (Model 1 adjusted for basic characteristics, hazard ratio (HR) = 2.01, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.94-4.31; Model 2 adjusted for potential confounders, HR = 2.30, 95% CI: 1.07-4.97). The association between cognitive decline and non-cardiovascular events decreased after adjusting for potential confounders.
conclusionThe results of this study emphasize the clinical utility of cognitive assessment for risk stratification of worsening cardiovascular conditions, including HF.
