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

backgroundThe impact of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) multimorbidity on outcomes in heart failure (HF) patients from China is not well-characterized.

objectivesTo evaluate the influence of CKM multimorbidity on short-term and long-term clinical outcomes and health-related quality of life.

methodsUsing data from a multicenter prospective cohort in China, we classified patients hospitalized for HF according to numbers or combinations of CKM conditions (atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease [ASCVD]), chronic kidney disease [CKD], and type 2 diabetes [T2D]). Cox regression models assessed associations of CKM multimorbidity with 1-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), all-cause death, cardiovascular (CV) death, all-cause rehospitalization, HF rehospitalization, and 4-year mortality outcomes. Generalized linear models evaluated CKM multimorbidity's impact on 12-item Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ-12) scores at 1, 6, and 12 months post-discharge.

resultsAmong 4875 patients, 68.2% had at least one CKM condition, and 8.0% had all three. Having three CKM conditions significantly increased 1-year MACE (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.87), all-cause death (aHR 1.78), CV death (aHR 1.78), all-cause rehospitalization (aHR 1.70), HF rehospitalization (aHR 1.76), 4-year all-cause death (aHR 1.95), and CV death (aHR 1.78). Patients with three CKM conditions had a 12-month KCCQ-12 score difference of -6.35 compared to those with no CKM conditions.

conclusionsCKM multimorbidity is common in Chinese patients hospitalized for HF and is associated with a higher risk of clinical outcomes and lower health-related quality of life.
