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

introductionThe incidence of hypoxemia and the indications for oxygen therapy in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) are not well known.

methodsA large nationwide registry of unselected AHF patients attended in the emergency department (ED) was analysed. Oxygen saturation by pulse-oximetry (SpO RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Of 18,904 AHF patients, 6949 (36.7%) had normal SpO

conclusionsImpaired oxygenation was observed in nearly two thirds of patients with AHF attended in ED. Hypoxemia occurred in 40% of those hospitalized, affecting all phenotypes and was associated with more severity and worse prognosis. This should be considered when addressing treatment recommendations for these patients.
