Assessment of Pulmonary Congestion According to Ultrasound and Remote Dielectric Sensing (ReDS) in Patients Hospitalized With Heart Failure.
Article in Arquivos brasileiros de cardiologia, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe reduction of pulmonary congestion is an essential clinical target in the management of chronic heart failure. The remote dielectric sensing (ReDS) system is a recently introduced non-invasive technology used to easily estimate the degree of lung fluid volume without any expert techniques.
objectiveTo conduct a comparative assessment of pulmonary congestion according to ultrasound and ReDS technology in patients hospitalized with decompensation of chronic heart failure (CHF).
methodsThe pilot single-center study included patients hospitalized with CHF decompensation. On admission and upon discharge, lung ultrasound and ReDS technology were simultaneously performed. Ultrasound of the lungs was performed according to the protocol with an assessment of 8 zones and calculation of the sum of B-lines. Pulmonary congestion was confirmed with a sum of B-lines ≥5, ReDS congestion if >35%. A p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
results35 patients were included in the study; 40% (n=14) were men, the average age was 71 (65.5; 78.5) years. Pulmonary congestion, according to ultrasound, was 57.1% (n=20), and according to ReDS, 62,9% (n=22). A moderate correlation was found between ReDS (%) and lung ultrasound (sum of B-lines) upon admission (Spearman correlation coefficient = 0.402; p=0.017). There was no correlation between the two methods at discharge (p=0.613).
conclusionThere was a moderate correlation between ReDS and lung ultrasound in relation to the detection of pulmonary congestion at admission.
