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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesB-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) represents a clinical tool for the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of acute and chronic heart failure patients. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate BNP values in obese and non-obese patients with acute heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this study, we enrolled 240 patients who presented to the emergency department complaining of acute shortness of breath and fatigue. The patients were divided into two groups according to their body mass index (BMI) values. The BMI was calculated as weight (kilograms) divided by height (square meters). The BNP testing was carried out in the emergency department.

resultsGroup I included patients with a BMI of <30 kg/m

conclusionsObesity and heart failure are continuously rising worldwide. In this retrospective study, we have highlighted the necessity to lower the threshold of BNP levels in obese patients with acute heart failure and preserved ejection fraction.
