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

backgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) is a risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) events in patients with heart failure (HF). It is unclear whether type 2 diabetes (T2D), closely intertwined with both HF and CKD, modifies the association between cardiovascular outcomes and CKD in HF patients, and whether this association differs according to ejection fraction (EF).

methodsHF patients enrolled in the Swedish Heart Failure Registry from January 2017 to December 2021 were analyzed. Linkage with the National Diabetes Registry and other population registries provided extensive baseline information. Patients were stratified by T2D status and CKD stages, defined by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR: <30, 30-44, 45-59, ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73 m

resultsOf 36,597 patients included, 8,053 (22%) had T2D, 23,562 (64.4%), 7122 (19.4%), 4477 (12.2%), 1436 (4.0%), were in the four eGFR categories (eGFR ≥ 60, 45-59, 30-44, and < 30 mL/min/1.73 m

conclusionsIn a contemporary HF cohort, decreased kidney function was associated with a progressively higher risk of HHF/CV death, and T2D was not a risk modifier. Renal protection should therefore be implemented in HF regardless of T2D.
