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

Introduction: There is a paucity of studies providing insights into the progression of primary care patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Objetive: To investigate the characteristics associated with mortality and rehospitalizations in primary care patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), previously hospitalized. Methods: Retrospective cohort study that included primary care patients with previous heart failure (HF) hospitalization and ejection fraction ≥50 of 328 primary care centers of Catalonia. Demographic, comorbidities, clinical, and treatment variables were collected. Outocomes: Mortality and HF rehospitalization. Adjusted Cox regression models were performed. Results: Study included 2895 patients. Mean age was 77(SD 9.7) years, 57 % were female. Mean follow up was 2.0[1.0-9.0] years. A total of 864(29.8 %) patients died, 831(28.7 %) were hospitalized. Mortality was associated with male sex(HR 1.26, 95 % CI 1.06-1.49), age >75 years(HR 2.76, 95 % CI 2.24-3.39), Charlson Index(HR 2.03, 95 % CI 1.21-3.42), body mass index(BMI) ≤30 kg/m Conclusion: High proportion of HFpEF patients were hospitalized or died at 5 years follow up. Comorbidities, demographic, analytical and treatment variables played a relevant role as prognostic factors.
