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

backgroundPatients often receive suboptimal dosing of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitor (RAASi) therapy over concerns of hyperkalaemia. However, studies have shown associations between suboptimal dosing or interruptions to therapy and adverse clinical events. Therefore, effective treatments for hyperkalaemia that can enable optimal RAASi therapy are needed. This case series examines eight patients whose commencement on the novel potassium binder sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC) allowed for the initiation and/or up-titration of RAASi therapy. CASE SUMMARY: Eight patients aged 64-87 years with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction all developed hyperkalaemia (serum potassium (sK DISCUSSION: These real-world cases demonstrate that use of SZC to manage hyperkalaemia in patients with HF is feasible and allows optimization of RAASi therapy.
