Efficacy and Safety of Subcutaneous Infusion of Non-formulated Furosemide in Patients with Worsening Heart Failure: a Real-World Study.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular translational research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
We aimed to evaluate the efficacy (short-term changes in surrogates of decongestion) and safety following the ambulatory administration of subcutaneous furosemide (SCF) in patients with WHF. Fifty-five ambulatory patients were treated with SCF administered by an elastomeric pump for at least 72 h. Surrogates of congestion were assessed at baseline, 72 h, and 30 days. Spot urinary sodium (uNa+) was assessed at baseline, 24-48-72 h, and 30 days. The median (IQI) of NT-proBNP and uNa+ at baseline was 5218 pg/mL (2856-10878) and 68±3 mmol/L, respectively. Following administration of SCF (median dose of 100 mg/daily), we found a sustained increase in uNa+ during the first 72 h of treatment compared to baseline, paralleled with evidence of decongestion at 72 h, and 30 days. No significant safety concerns were observed. SCF was an effective and safe diuretic strategy for outpatient congestion management. Non-formulated subcutaneous furosemide in patients with WHF.
