How to Improve Adherence to Life-saving Heart Failure Treatments with Potassium Binders.
Article in Cardiac failure review, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Medications that affect the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) form the mainstay of current heart failure (HF) therapy in patients with reduced ejection fraction. Concerns about the risk of hyperkalaemia have created a significant barrier to optimal RAAS inhibitor therapy in patients with HF, however, and many patients are discontinuing or receiving suboptimal doses of these lifesaving therapies. This has serious health and economic implications due to adverse renal and cardiovascular events. There is therefore an important unmet need for novel therapeutic options for the long-term management of patients with, and at risk for, hyperkalaemia. Two new potassium-binding agents, patiromer and ZS-9, have been shown to be effective and safe for the treatment of hyperkalaemia, as well as the maintenance of normokalaemia, without dose reduction or discontinuation of RAAS inhibitors. In addition, the fast onset of ZS-9 action suggests that it may be useful in the treatment of acute hyperkalaemia. These agents may allow for dose optimisation of RAAS inhibitors for the long-term maintenance and protection of the renal and cardiovascular system.
