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

The B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), a member of the family of vasoactive peptides, has emerged as an important diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic tool in patients with heart failure (HF). The rapid incorporation into clinical practice of bioassays to BNP concentrations and pharmacological agents that augment the biological actions of this peptide such as nesiritide or vasopeptidase inhibitors has shown the potential for translational research to improve patient care. Despite the indirect evidence in support of a potential benefit from raising BNP, accumulating evidence suggests that simply increasing the amount of circulating BNP does not necessarily confer cardiovascular benefits in patient with HF. Moreover, in experimental HF, the response to treatments targeting specific natriuretic peptide receptors (NPRs) signaling seems to be attenuated. A better understanding of the NPRs signaling in HF would be clinically relevant and thus required, in order to devise strategies to develop novel agents and technologies that directly target this signaling pathway.
