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

Recognizing individuals with stage B heart failure (HF) is important to prevent or delay its progression to symptomatic HF. Unfortunately, no study at present describes the prevalence of stage B HF in Indian patients. This study involved 227 consecutive patients (mean age 56.3 ± 12.1 years, 60 % were men) undergoing echocardiography at a referral center in North India. Overall, 13 % of patients had increased left atrial volume index, 7 % had elevated ratio of early diastolic mitral inflow to mitral annular velocity, and 47 % had reduced left ventricular global longitudinal strain. Based on these findings, stage B HF was diagnosed in 119 (52.4 %) subjects. The patients with stage B HF had significantly lower left atrial reservoir strain. In conclusion, this study shows a high prevalence of stage B HF in a general clinical setting in India. Further, larger studies are needed to overcome the current study limitations and better define stage B HF's prevalence and clinical implications in Indian patients.
