Impact of ethnicity on long-term mortality following hospitalization for acute decompensated heart failure: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundEthnic disparities in heart failure (HF) outcomes have been widely documented, but data from countries with universal healthcare systems, such as Israel, are limited. This study assessed whether long-term clinical outcomes differ between Jewish and non-Jewish patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF).
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of adults hospitalized with ADHF at a tertiary medical center in Israel between 2007 and 2017. Patients were categorized by self-reported ethnicity. Baseline characteristics, in-hospital treatments, discharge medications, and clinical outcomes were compared. The primary outcome was 5-year all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes included in-hospital mortality, 30-day readmission, 30-day mortality, 1-year mortality, and treatment patterns.
resultsOf 7,199 patients, 90.3% were Jewish and 9.7% non-Jewish. Non-Jewish patients were younger (median age 74 vs. 80 years, p < 0.001) and had higher rates of smoking and obesity. Most comorbidities, procedures, and discharge therapies were comparable. Unadjusted short-term outcomes were similar between groups. Although unadjusted 5-year survival appeared higher in non-Jews (p = 0.002), multivariable Cox regression showed that non-Jewish ethnicity was independently associated with increased 5-year mortality (HR 1.13, 95% CI 1.02-1.25, p = 0.021).
conclusionsIn this large cohort of patients hospitalized with ADHF in Israel, non-Jewish ethnicity was independently associated with worse long-term survival despite younger age and similar in-hospital care. These findings underscore the need for targeted follow-up strategies to mitigate ethnic disparities in chronic HF outcomes.
