Comprehensive analysis of heart failure: Characteristics, treatment, and outcomes in a reduced ejection fraction patient cohort from SIDIAP, Catalonia, Spain.
Article in Atencion primaria, 2026. 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
objectiveTo describe sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, treatments, and incidence of hospital admission and all-cause mortality within a cohort of patients diagnosed with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) followed up in Primary Care.
designPopulation-based cohort study. SITE: The data source is the Information System for the Development of Research in Primary Care (SIDIAP), which captures information from the Electronic Health Records of Primary Health Care of the Catalan Institute of Health (approximately 80% of the Catalan population).
participantsAdults with a diagnostic code of HFrEF in 2018-2022.
interventionsNot applicable. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, drug exposure, hospitalizations due to heart failure and all-cause mortality.
resultsWe included 17,169 patients; 59.5% men and 40.5% women. We found differences between men and women in clinical characteristics and in drug combinations, and suboptimal use to recommended therapies, being better for men than for women. Women had higher hospitalization (44.6% vs 42.1%) and all-cause mortality rates (27.2% vs 25.3%). Hazard ratio of hospitalization was higher in older than 60, with increasing NYHA, diabetic patients and in previously hospitalized.
conclusionsWe observed sex disparities in baseline characteristics, in drug use for heart failure, and in adherence to treatment recommendations. Women had higher rates of hospital admissions and all-cause mortality, although the hazard ratio for hospitalization risk was similar between sexes. Age over 60, increasing NHYA, diabetes and prior heart-failure hospitalization resulted in higher risk of hospital admission. These findings highlight the importance of tailoring treatment strategies according to clinical conditions.
