Diagnostic Modalities in Heart Failure: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Heart failure (HF) can present acutely or progress over time. It can lead to morbidity and mortality affecting 6.5 million Americans over the age of 20. The HF type is described according to the ejection fraction classification, defined as the percentage of blood volume that exits the left ventricle after myocardial contraction, undergoing ejection into the circulation, also called stroke volume, and is proportional to the ejection fraction. Cardiac catheterization is an invasive procedure to evaluate coronary artery disease leading to HF. Several biomarkers are being studied that could lead to early detection of HF and better symptom management. Testing for various biomarkers in the patient's blood is instrumental in confirming the diagnosis and elucidating the etiology of HF. There are various biomarkers elevated in response to increased myocardial stress and volume overload, including B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and its N-terminal prohormone BNP. We explored online libraries such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane to find relevant articles. Our narrative review aims to extensively shed light on diagnostic modalities and novel techniques for diagnosing HF.
