Prognostic Value of Urinary and Plasma C-Type Natriuretic Peptide in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure.
Article in JACC. Heart failure, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectivesThis study sought to characterize urinary and plasma C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) to define their relationship with clinical variables and to determine whether urinary and plasma CNP together add prognostic value.
backgroundCNP is a protective hormone that is synthesized in the kidney and endothelium and possesses antiremodeling properties. Urinary and plasma CNP levels are elevated in pathophysiological conditions; however, their regulation and prognostic value in heart failure (HF) is unclear.
methodsUrinary and plasma CNP were measured in 109 healthy subjects and 208 patients with ADHF; the 95th percentile of CNP values from healthy subjects established the normal contemporary cutoffs. Patients with ADHF were stratified based on urinary and plasma CNP levels for clinical characterization and the assessment of risk for adverse outcomes.
resultsThere was no significant correlation between urinary and plasma CNP in both cohorts. Urinary and plasma CNP were significantly elevated in patients with ADHF, and both increased with disease severity and were positively correlated with plasma N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). Of the patients with ADHF, 23% had elevations in both urinary and plasma CNP, whereas 24% had normal CNP levels. During a median follow-up of 3 years, patients with elevated urinary and plasma CNP had a significantly higher risk of rehospitalization and/or death (HR: 1.79; P = 0.03) and rehospitalization (HR: 2.16; P = 0.01) after adjusting for age, sex, left ventricular ejection fraction, renal function, and plasma NT-proBNP. The C-statistic and integrated discrimination analyses further supported that the addition of urinary and plasma CNP to established risk models improved the prediction of adverse outcomes in patients with ADHF.
conclusionsUrinary and plasma CNP are differentially regulated in ADHF, and elevations in both provided independent prognostic value for predicting adverse outcomes.
