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

Aims: Systolic ejection time (SET) is discussed as a treatment target in patients with heart failure (HF) and a reduced left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF). We derived reference values for SET correcting for its dependence on heart rate (SETc), and explored its prognostic utility in patients admitted with decompensated HF. Methods and results: SETc was derived in 4836 participants of the population-based STAAB study (mean age 55 ± 12 years, 52% women). There, mean SETc was 328 ± 18 ms, increased with age (+4.7 ms per decade), was shorter in men than women (-14.9 ms), and correlated with arterial elastance ( Conclusion: In the general population, SETc increased with age and an elevated afterload. SETc was mildly reduced in patients hospitalized with HFpEF, but markedly reduced in patients with HFrEF. In-hospital prolongation of SETc predicted a favourable outcome in HFrEF, but an adverse outcome in HFpEF. Our results support the concept of a U-shaped relationship between cardiac systolic function and risk, providing a rationale for a more individualized treatment approach in patients with HF.
