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

backgroundPharmacokinetic studies suggest delayed clearance of Regadenoson (REG), a new selective A2A receptor agonist in chronic kidney disease (CKD). The safety of REG in large series of CKD patients in daily clinical practice remains unstudied.

methodsRetrospective study of patients with eGFR < 60 mL/min (n = 411, Grp 1, CKD) were compared to patients with eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min (n = 638, Grp 2, Control) undergoing REG-SPECT from Jan to Nov 2009. Patient demographics, REG-SPECT data, side effects, and arrhythmia occurrences were evaluated.

resultsNo major adverse events were noted immediately after REG-SPECT or at 1 week of follow-up. There were no differences in any arrhythmias in between the two groups (Grp 1, 47.2% vs Grp 2, 42.9%, P = ns). Ninety-nine percent of arrhythmias in CKD patients were PACs or PVCs. Transient junctional rhythm was observed in one CKD patient. There were no occurrences of second degree or higher degree AV block. Grp 1 had a blunted heart rate response (16.6 ± 16.1 vs 24.9 ± 20.3 bpm, P ≤ .001) and greater systolic blood pressure drop response (-7.4 ± 21.1 vs -1.4 ± 20.9 mm Hg, P ≤ .001) compared to Grp 2. Transient headache was more in Grp 2 (15.8% vs 22.6%, P ≤ .007). Aminophylline use to ward-off the side effects was comparable (9.5% vs 9.9%, P = ns).

conclusionREG-SPECT can be safely performed in CKD non-dialysis patients with excellent tolerability, minimal side effects, and favorable hemodynamic responses compared to control group.
