Rural-Urban Disparities in Heart Failure and Liver Cirrhosis Hospitalizations: A National Inpatient Sample Database Analysis (2016-2022).
Article in International journal of heart failure, 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
Heart failure and cirrhosis interplay predisposes patients to increased inpatient morbidity, acute decompensation, renal injury, infection, procedural complications, prolonged hospitalizations, and healthcare costs. In this retrospective observational study, we analyzed data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample spanning 2016 to 2022 to assess rural-urban disparities and temporal trends in adult patients hospitalized with concurrent HF and liver cirrhosis in the U.S. Validated International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision codes were used to identify these patients. A total of 498,539 hospitalizations (weighted >2.49 million) met inclusion criteria, of which 14.9% occurred in non-metropolitan hospitals and 85.1% in metropolitan hospitals. In-hospital mortality was higher in rural settings (8.0% vs. 7.3%), with slightly longer hospital stays in urban settings that incurred a greater financial burden, with higher inflation-adjusted costs ($24,026 vs. $20,948). These results were consistent with propensity-matching. The study concludes that strategies to improve regional healthcare access and equity in complex multisystem disease management are needed.
