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

Worsening heart failure (WHF) is a complex clinical syndrome associated with a high risk of mortality and further decompensations, characterized by fluid overload and upregulated inflammatory and fibrotic processes linked to organ dysfunction. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is an emerging proxy of fibrosis and may interact to influence long-term outcomes in WHF patients. This study evaluated the association between FGF23 levels and long-term outcomes in patients with WHF evaluated in the emergency department (ED). A total of 635 patients from the EAHFE registry, enrolled during 2007, 2009, and 2011, were prospectively included. FGF23 was measured in the first blood sample obtained at ED presentation. During a median follow-up of 380 days (interquartile range: 126 to 456), all-cause mortality occurred in 216 patients (34.0%), while 351 patients (55.3%) experienced the composite endpoint of death/WHF ED reconsultation and 295 (46.5%) experienced death/HF hospitalization. Event rates increased progressively across FGF23 levels. Patients with FGF23 above the median (48.4 pg/mL) displayed higher rates (per 100 patient-years) of all-cause mortality (49 vs. 31,
