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

objectiveHeart failure is a clinical syndrome, caused by functional or structural dysfunction of the heart. Taking early decisions for interventional procedures and predicting the treatment process will be beneficial for patients and will shorten the waiting times for the emergency department. We evaluated the capability of C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin combined indexes to predict the need for intubation in acute heart failure.

methodsThis study was designed prospectively. Patients with signs and symptoms such as weakness, shortness of breath, abnormal findings in lung sounds, jugular fullness, peripheral edema, and ankle swelling at the time of admission were evaluated. All patients were diagnosed with acute heart failure in the Emergency Department (ED).

resultsA total of 220 patients were included. The median age was 77. CRP Albumin Ratio (CAR) was higher in the intubated group. Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS) and modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and other values were the same.

conclusionThese scores, which are simple and do not require additional examination, can be used to predict the clinical progress of patients.
