Natriuretic peptide testing in high-risk pregnancy: a preventive opportunity?
Review in Current heart failure reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Natriuretic peptide testing has been widely utilized in the heart failure and cardiac patient population, but there is limited utilization during pregnancy. Patients with hypertensive diseases of pregnancy have been shown to experience elevation of circulating natriuretic peptide levels compared to normal pregnancies, especially in the setting of preeclampsia. Natriuretic peptide testing can be utilized in patients presenting with signs and symptoms suspicious of heart failure in order to rule out underlying cardiac causes. Meanwhile, monitoring natriuretic peptide levels in those with established heart diseases (both congenital and acquired) may facilitate careful management of cardiac status during the course of pregnancy. Further investigations in the judicious use of selected medications (particularly loop diuretics) in the setting of elevated natriuretic peptide levels are warranted.
