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

Sacubitril/valsartan therapy reduces sudden cardiac death (SCD) among patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) when compared to guidelines recommended doses of enalapril, however the mechanism is still not clear. There are few, contrasting results about the effect of sacubitril/valsartan on arrhythmias in the clinical context of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and there are no clinical data about its effect on measured implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) electrical parameters, such as atrial/ventricular electrograms sensing and pacing threshold. We conducted a 12 month follow-up observational study in 167 ischemic and nonischemic DCM patients (mean age 68.1 ± 11.6 years; 85% male), with dual-chamber ICD on sacubitril/valsartan treatment, to evaluate the incidence of device detected tachyarrhythmia events, both atrial and ventricular, and the change in measured ICD electrical parameters. We collected data on clinical, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic parameters to find a possible electro-mechanical correlation within results. Our results show that DCM patients with reduced ejection fraction and ICD on sacubitril/valsartan treatment experienced a reduction in both atrial and ventricular arrhythmias incidence and an improvement in ICD electrical atrial parameters. The findings might be explained by the electro-mechanical cardiac reverse remodeling induced by sacubitril/valsartan therapy.
