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

Heart failure (HF) epidemiology, patient characteristics, and clinical outcomes exhibit substantial regional variations, reflecting diverse etiologies and health system capacities. This review comprehensively analyses these variations, drawing on data from recent global registries and clinical trials. Our review indicates that ischemic and hypertensive heart diseases are prevalent globally but differ in dominance depending on the region. Notably, regions such as Africa and Latin America show higher instances of HF from hypertensive heart disease and Chagas cardiomyopathy, respectively. Moreover, disparities in age and comorbidity profiles across regions highlight younger populations with HF in lower-income countries compared to older populations in high-income regions. This review also highlights the global disparity in guideline-directed medical and device therapy, underscoring significant underuse in lower-income regions. These insights emphasize the need for targeted HF management strategies considering regional clinical and demographic characteristics to enhance global HF care and outcomes.
