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

aimsRisk stratification in patients with heart failure patients is crucial. The prognostic value of invasive hemodynamic parameters measured by right heart catheterization compared to established risk scores remains unknown. METHODS AND

resultsThis retrospective analysis included 883 patients. The combined endpoint was all-cause mortality, heart transplantation or left ventricular assist device implantation. A Cox proportional hazards model assessed the impact of invasive parameters, cardiac biomarkers, and patient characteristics, comparing them with the Seattle Heart Failure Model (SHFM) and the Meta-Analysis Global Group in Chronic Heart Failure (MAGGIC) Score. A new score was created including mean pulmonary arterial (PA) pressure, mean right atrial pressure, mean pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP), age, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), high-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT), mixed venous oxygen saturation (SVO2), creatinine, and presence of ischemic cardiomyopathy. Mean, diastolic, and systolic PA pressure, mean right atrial pressure, mean PAWP, SVO2 and cardiac index were significant predictors for the primary endpoint reached by 467/883 (53%) patients, in a multiple Cox proportional hazards model (p < 0.001). The predictive value was diminished in a subgroup of patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. We used invasive parameters, age, NT-proBNP, hsTnT

conclusionInvasive hemodynamics provides valuable measurements for predicting outcome in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and show better performance than established risk models when combined with cardiac biomarkers and other clinical variables in this particular cohort.
