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

backgroundAcute heart failure is a leading cause of hospital readmissions, with nearly 20% rehospitalized within 30 days. Our institution's rate was over 27%, exceeding the national average. PROJECT RATIONALE: To reduce readmissions, we launched an Advanced Practice Nurse-led clinic supported by Heart Failure Navigators. The strategy focused on lifestyle education, proactive monitoring, and coordinated care. PROJECT SUMMARY: Between 2021 and 2024, we followed up with adult patients discharged with New York Heart NYHA functional class II to IV heart failure, implementing telemonitoring, lifestyle coaching, guideline-directed medical therapy, and proactive outreach by Heart Failure Navigators. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Advanced practice nurses, with navigator support, reduce readmissions, boost medication adherence, and improve quality of life and outcomes.
