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

purposeDifferentiating heart failure-related death (HFD) from arrhythmic events (ArEs) is clinically important for patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), as they have distinct mechanisms and therapeutic strategies. We developed and validated a multivariable model to predict HFD, ArEs, and survival using clinical parameters and cardiac

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed data derived from 997 patients with CHF (mean age 70 ± 13 years, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 32% ± 13%) over a mean follow-up of 41 ± 27 months. Outcomes were survival, HFD, or ArEs (including sudden cardiac death). Appropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy for lethal arrhythmias was included in ArEs. Late heart-to-mediastinum ratios (HMRs) were derived from

resultsSelected variables were age, sex, New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class, LVEF, hemoglobin, estimated glomerular filtration rate, hypertension, ventricular tachycardia history, and late
