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

Congestive heart failure (CHF) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. There has been renewed interest in using thrombo-inflammatory markers as prognostic tools in patients with CHF. To determine if thrombo-inflammatory markers are independent risk factors for 28-day mortality in hospitalized CHF patients, we retrospectively analyzed admission data extracted from 2008 consecutive patients admitted with a diagnosis of CHF to Zigong Fourth People's Hospital. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis demonstrated that the thrombo-inflammatory markers thrombin time, platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and D-dimer level were independent predictors of mortality. In addition, variables reflecting the severity of CHF (New York Heart Association class > 2), impaired renal function (elevated serum creatinine [SCr]), impaired organ perfusion (elevated BUN), and chronic liver disease were also independent predictors of mortality. Thrombo-inflammatory biomarkers were only weakly associated with SCr and the burden of co-morbidity, suggesting that thrombo-inflammation may in large part be attributable to CHF itself and that, moreover, its presence may confer an increased risk of mortality. Further large-scale prospective studies are needed to determine the existence and the consequences of a thrombo-inflammatory phenotype among patients with CHF.
