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

Tolvaptan, a vasopressin type 2 receptor antagonist, has an aquaretic effect without affecting renal function. The effects of long-term tolvaptan administration in heart failure patients with renal dysfunction have not been clarified. Here, we assessed the clinical benefit of tolvaptan during a 6-month follow-up in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) patients with severe chronic kidney disease (CKD; estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <45 mL/min/1.73 m(2)). We compared 33 patients with ADHF and severe CKD who were administered tolvaptan in addition to loop diuretics (TLV group), with 36 patients with ADHF and severe CKD who were administered high-dose loop diuretics (≥40 mg) alone (LD group). Alterations in serum creatinine and eGFR levels from the time of hospital discharge to 6-month follow-up were significantly different between the groups, with those in the TLV group being more favorable. Furthermore, Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that rehospitalization for heart failure (HF) was significantly lower in the TLV group compared with the LD group. In ADHF patients with severe CKD, tolvaptan use for 6 months reduced worsening of renal function and rehospitalization rates for HF when compared with conventional diuretic therapy. In conclusion, tolvaptan could be a safe and effective agent for long-term management of HF and CKD.
