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 effect of ivabradine on left ventricular reverse remodeling (LVRR) in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and its correlation with achieved heart rate (HR) by ivabradine in non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM) remain uncertain. A retrospective analysis of 255 sinus rhythm NIDCM patients at a tertiary center (2012-2021) were categorized into four groups based on the ivabradine use (Iva+/-) and achieved HR at 1-year (HR+/-). The HR cut-off of 70 bpm was determined via receiver operating characteristic curve analysis for LVRR, defined as an absolute ≥ 10% improvement in LV ejection fraction (LVEF) from baseline, with a final LVEF ≥ 40%. LVRR incidence at 1-year was, 46.8% in Iva-/HR70+, 46.6% in Iva-/HR70-, 62.9% Iva+/HR70+ and 71.1% in Iva+/HR70-. Ivabradine treated patients with HR < 70 bpm had higher incidence of LVRR than those without ivabradine (Iva+/HR70-vs. Iva-/HR70+, OR 4.85, 95%CI 1.97-11.96 P = 0.001; Iva+/HR70-vs. Iva-/HR70-, OR 3.60, 95% CI 1.41-9.18, P = 0.007) after adjustment for known predictors in a multivariate model. Consistent adherence to beta-blockers and ivabradine, along with guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) for HF, and sex were identified as independent predictors of LVRR. Ivabradine therapy achieving HR < 70 bpm correlated with increased LVRR incidence in NIDCM patients, underscoring the role of ivabradine in HR reduction adjunctive to GDMT.
