Prognostic Impact of the UMIPIC Program in the Follow Up in Patients with Heart Failure and Cardiorenal Syndrome.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundIndividuals suffering from heart failure (HF) and cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) represent a special group of patients considering their age, multiple health issues, and treatment challenges. These factors make them more susceptible to frequent hospital stays and a higher mortality rate. UMIPIC is a multidisciplinary care model program for patients with heart failure follow up provided by internists and nurses who are experts in this entity. Our study delved into the effectiveness of this specialized care program (UMIPIC) in mitigating these risks for HF and CRS patients.
methodsWe analyzed the medical records of 3255 patients diagnosed with HF and CRS types 2 and 4, sourced from the RICA registry. These patients were divided into two distinct groups: those enrolled in the UMIPIC program (1205 patients) and those under standard care (2050 patients). Using propensity score matching, we ensured that both groups were comparable. The study focused on tracking hospital admissions and mortality rates for one year after an HF-related hospital stay.
resultsPatients in the UMIPIC group experienced fewer hospital readmissions due to HF compared to their counterparts (20% vs. 32%; Hazard Ratio [HR] = 0.48; 95% Confidence Interval [95% CI]: 0.40-0.57;
conclusionsThe UMIPIC program, centered on holistic and ongoing care, effectively reduces both hospital admissions and mortality rates for HF and CRS patients after a one-year follow-up period.
