Prognostic Factors of Acute Heart Failure: A Regional Population Registry.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, 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
INTRODUCTION AND
objectivesAcute heart failure (AHF) is the leading cardiovascular cause of hospitalization and remains associated with high mortality and rehospitalization rates. Contemporary real-world data from cardiology departments are scarce. We aimed to identify admission characteristics associated with one-year outcomes in patients hospitalized with AHF.
methodsRECYLICA is a prospective, multicentre, regional registry including consecutive patients admitted with AHF to cardiology departments across 10 hospitals over a one-year period. Patients were followed for 12 months. The primary endpoint was the composite of all-cause mortality or heart failure (HF) rehospitalization.
resultsA total of 602 patients were included (37.0% women; mean age 72.6 ± 12.0 years), of whom 47.4% had heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF). During follow-up, 83 patients (13.8%) died and 105 (17.4%) were rehospitalized because of HF. Independent predictors of the primary endpoint were elevated admission N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), atrial fibrillation (AF), chronic kidney disease (CKD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), previous HF, prior implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation, and higher left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Among patients with HFrEF, less comprehensive implementation of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) at discharge was associated with significantly worse outcomes.
conclusionsIn patients hospitalized with AHF, prognosis is primarily determined by comorbidity burden, admission NT-proBNP levels, previous HF, and LVEF. Among patients with HFrEF, more comprehensive implementation of GDMT at discharge was associated with improved clinical outcomes, supporting early optimization of evidence-based therapy during hospitalization.
