The Reliability and Validity of Consistently Assess Signs and Symptoms of Heart Failure (CLASS-HF) Guide.
Article in The Journal of cardiovascular nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundThe New York Heart Association Functional Classification (NYHA-FC) is used in clinical practice to assess functional capacity.
objectiveThis study examined the reliability and validity of the Consistently Assess Signs and Symptoms of Heart Failure (CLASS-HF) Guide in the assignment of NYHA-FC.
methodsProviders assigned NYHA-FC using the CLASS-HF Guide and patients completed a 6-minute walk test.
resultsInterrater reliability revealed moderate agreement (κ = 0.462) among heart failure providers. A significant inverse correlation was found between assigned NYHA-FC and 6-minute meters walked ( rs = -0.469, P < .001), with significant mean differences (analysis of variance F(3,99) = 10.72, P < .001) in distance walked.
conclusionsThe CLASS-HF Guide showed evidence of reliability and validity.
