Echocardiographic functional determinants of survival in heart failure with abnormal ejection fraction.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background and Aims: Patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) have a heterogeneous prognosis, and assessment of coronary physiology with coronary flow velocity (CFV) and coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) may complement established predictors based on wall motion and EF. Methods and results: In a prospective multicenter study design, we enrolled 1,408 HF patients (age 66 ± 12 years, 1,035 men), with EF <50%, 743 (53%) with coronary artery disease, and 665 (47%) with normal coronary arteries. Recruitment (years 2004-2022) involved 8 accredited laboratories, with inter-observer variability <10% for CFV measurement. Baseline CFV (abnormal value >31 cm/s) was obtained by pulsed-wave Doppler in mid-distal LAD. CFVR (abnormal value ≤2.0) was assessed with exercise ( Conclusion: High resting CFV is associated with worse survival in ischemic and nonischemic HF with reduced EF. The value is independent and additive to resting EF, CFVR, LVCR, and inducible ischemia.
