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 (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome that is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The prognosis of chronic HF in Kosovo has never been objectively assessed and compared with other countries. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the long-term prognostic value of clinical and cardiac function parameters in predicting the mortality of patients in Kosovo with chronic HF. Methods: This study included 203 consecutive patients with chronic HF who were followed up for a mean of 86 ± 40 months. The primary outcome of the study was all-cause mortality. Results: During the follow-up period, there were 94 deaths (46.3%). Deceased patients were older ( Conclusions: In medically treated patients with chronic HF from Kosovo, worse functional NYHA class, impaired kidney function, age, compromised LV systolic function, and enlarged LA were independently associated with increased risk of long-term all-cause mortality.
