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

The emergence of biomarkers across medicine's subspecialties continues to evolve. In essence, a biomarker is a biological observation that clearly substitutes a clinical endpoint or intermediate outcome not only are more difficult to observe but also, biomarkers are easier, less expensive and could be measured over shorter periods. In general, biomarkers are versatile and not only used for disease screening and diagnosis but, most importantly, for disease characterization, monitoring, and determination of prognosis as well as individualized therapeutic responses. Obviously, heart failure (HF) is no exception to the use of biomarkers. Currently, natriuretic peptides are the most used biomarkers for both diagnosis and prognostication, while their role in the monitoring of treatment is still debatable. Although several other new biomarkers are currently under investigation regarding diagnosis and determination of prognosis, none of them are specific for HF, and none are recommended for routine clinical use at present. However, among these emerging biomarkers, we would like to highlight the potential for growth differentiation factor (GDF)-15 as a plausible new biomarker that could be helpful in providing prognostic information regarding HF morbidity and mortality.
