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: Cardiovascular intensive care units have evolved in time, from being exclusively dedicated to the care of myocardial infarction patients, to treating complex and varied cardiovascular pathologies. We do not have data about the characteristics of patients in cardiovascular intensive care units in Peru. Material and Methods: We prospectively evaluated the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of patients admitted between July and November 2018 to the intensive and intermediate care unit of the National Cardiovascular Institute INCOR in Lima, Peru. Results: A total of 199 patients were enrolled in the study. The median age was 67 years, 20% older than 80 years and 75.8% males. 60% of cases they came from the emergency unit. The most frequent admissions diagnoses were acute coronary syndromes (ACS) (35%) and acutely decompensated heart failure (20%). In-hospital mortality was 4.5%, higher (12%) in patients with readmissions to intensive care. Conclusions: In this first registry of cardiac critical care in Peru, ACS continues to be the main cause of admission followed by acutely decompensated heart failure. The in-hospital mortality was higher in patients with readmissions to the intensive care unit.
