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

In a critically ill cohort of 1505 patients with acute decompensated heart failure, the BAN-ADHF score was inversely associated with diuretic efficiency (Spearman ρ = -0.518) and discriminated the lowest-efficiency quintile (AUROC 0.780 at 24 h; 0.769 at 72 h), with efficiency falling more than four-fold across risk categories. This first external validation in an intensive-care population extends the evidence for BAN-ADHF to patients excluded from prior cohorts and supports prospective evaluation of score-guided decongestive strategies in critical illness.
