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

objectiveA meta-analysis of the studies involving Sacubitril/Valsartan in chronic heart failure was performed to compare the efficacy and safety of Sacubitril/Valsartan with traditional drug therapy in chronic heart failure.

methodsWe searched databases from PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and clinicaltrials.gov for studies published between 2010 and 2020 that reported efficacy and safety following Sacubitril/Valsartan administration.

resultsTen studies enrolling 1689 patients were included. Sacubitril/Valsartan outperformed traditional medicine (especially the Non-ARNI group) in terms of blood pressure, biomarkers and cardiac reverse remodeling indices, with striking changes in left ventricular ejection fraction, systolic blood pressure. Sacubitril/Valsartan showed significant benefit in renal function in patients with chronic heart failure.

conclusionsCompared with traditional drugs, Sacubitril/Valsartan significantly improved echocardiography, vital signs and biomarkers of patients with chronic heart failure, and reduced the incidence of hyperkalemia, renal dysfunction and other adverse reactions. Further large sample trials are needed in the future to determine the long-term effects of Sacubitril/Valsartan on efficacy and safety in patients with chronic heart failure.
