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: Heart failure caused by myocardial ischemia is a common cause encountered in clinical practice. A significant problem in heart failure is its progressive, unfavorable course and the associated increased frequency of repeated hospitalizations, as well as a significant deterioration in the functioning of patients, leading to their inability to function independently and a significant decline in the quality of life. This study aimed to assess the quality of life of patients with heart failure due to myocardial ischemia, considering the left ventricular ejection fraction, the number of "diseased" coronary arteries, co-occurring diseases, and cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: A total of 204 patients with decompensated heart failure due to chronic myocardial ischemia were included in this study and examined twice: A: on the first day of hospitalization; A': from 4 to 8 weeks. For the individual assessment of the quality of life, the WHOQOL-BREF (The World Health Organization Quality of Life - BREF) questionnaire was used. Results: In the group of patients with heart failure in the decompensation stage a statistically significant positive relationship was observed between the number of comorbidities and the social domain (R(A) = 0.197; Conclusions: The quality of life of the examined patients with heart failure caused by chronic myocardial ischemia was poor, although it improved to average in the long-term follow-up. It was determined by left ventricular ejection fraction, the number of "diseased" coronary arteries, comorbidities, and risk factors.
