Heart failure and dementia: a comparative analysis with different types of cancer.
Article in European heart journal open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Aims: The prognosis and quality of life of patients with heart failure (HF) is determined by comorbidities, with dementia/cognitive decline believed to have a significant impact in this regard. This study compares the incidence of dementia in patients with HF with that in patients with common cancers in a large collective of outpatients. Methods and results: This retrospective cohort study assessed the incidence of dementia/cognitive decline [International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision (ICD-10): I50] in a cohort of patients ≥65 years diagnosed with HF (ICD-10: I50), breast cancer (ICD-10: C50), prostate cancer (ICD-10: C61), or digestive organ cancer (ICD-10: C15-C26) in 1274 German general practices between January 2000 and December 2018. Multivariable Cox regression models were used to study the association between HF and dementia compared to each of three cancer cohorts. We included 72 259 patients with HF, 10 310 patients with breast cancer, 12 477 patients with prostate cancer, and 12 136 patients with digestive organ cancer. A total of 27.8% of patients with HF were diagnosed with dementia during the 10-year observation period compared to 16.2% of patients with breast cancer, 18.6% of patients with digestive organ cancer, and 16.1% of patients with prostate cancer. Patients with HF were significantly more likely to develop dementia within 10 years after diagnosis than patients with breast cancer [hazard ratio (HR): 1.36 (95% confidence interval 1.28-1.45, Conclusions: Our study demonstrates the significance of dementia in patients with HF, in whom the condition is much more prevalent than in patients with cancer.
