Home-Delivered Meals Postdischarge From Heart Failure Hospitalization.
Trial report in Circulation. Heart failure, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02148679 (Effects of Home-delivered Low-sodium Meals in Older Adults Following Heart Failure Hospitalization.), which is not on this map. Cited by 85 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
The trial behind it

Abstract
Background In patients with heart failure (HF), malnutrition and dietary sodium excess are common and may worsen outcomes. No prior studies have provided low-sodium, nutritionally complete meals following HF hospitalization. Methods and Results The GOURMET-HF study (Geriatric Out-of-Hospital Randomized Meal Trial in Heart Failure) randomized patients discharged from HF hospitalization to 4 weeks of home-delivered sodium-restricted Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension meals (DASH/SRD; 1500 mg sodium/d) versus usual care. The primary outcome was the between-group change in the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire summary score from discharge to 4 weeks postdischarge. Additional outcomes included changes in the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire clinical summary score and cardiac biomarkers. All patients were followed 12 weeks for death/all-cause readmission and potential diet-related adverse events (symptomatic hypotension, hyperkalemia, acute kidney injury). Sixty-six patients were randomized 1:1 at discharge to DASH/SRD versus usual care (age, 71±8 years; 30% female; ejection fraction, 39±18%). The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire summary score increased similarly between groups (DASH/SRD 46±23-59±20 versus usual care 43±19-53±24; P=0.38), but the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire clinical summary score increase tended to be greater in DASH/SRD participants (47±22-65±19 versus 45±20-55±26; P=0.053). Potentially diet-related adverse events were uncommon; 30-day HF readmissions (11% versus 27%; P=0.06) and days rehospitalized within that timeframe (17 versus 55; P=0.055) trended lower in DASH/SRD participants. Conclusions Home-delivered DASH/SRD after HF hospitalization appeared safe in selected patients and had directionally favorable effects on HF clinical status and 30-day readmissions. Larger studies are warranted to clarify the effects of postdischarge nutritional support in patients with HF. Clinical Trial Registration URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov .
