Optimal treatment of heart failure in the elderly.
Review in Drugs & aging, 1997. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 is a common condition in the elderly and one that is likely to become more prevalent as the population ages. Many drugs have been developed for the treatment of heart failure, but because clinical trials of these agents have often not included elderly patients their results need to be extrapolated from younger to older patients. Age-related physiological changes that affect how the available treatments are used occur in many organ systems. Effective management strategies can be implemented in elderly patients as well as in younger age groups, and these can improve both functional status and quality of life as well as reducing hospital admission and improving survival. This article reviews the physiological changes that occur in the elderly and the treatment approach that can be taken in elderly patients with heart failure.
