Hospitalisations Related to the Combination of ACE Inhibitors and/or Angiotensin Receptor Blockers with Diuretics and NSAIDs: A Post Hoc Analysis on the Risks Associated with Triple Whammy.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
This post hoc analysis aimed to assess and characterise adverse events (AEs) related to the triple whammy (i.e., combination therapy of ACE inhibitors, ACE-I, and/or angiotensin receptor blockers, ARBs, with diuretics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, NSAIDs) leading to emergency department (ED) visits and/or hospitalisations in the Italian setting. The MEREAFaPS database was analysed. ED visits related to co-treatment with ACE-I and/or ARBs, diuretics, and NSAIDs were considered. Information on the AE (including classification, seriousness, and outcome), suspected and concomitant drugs, and concomitant conditions was retrieved and analysed. Logistic regression was used to estimate the reporting odds ratios (RORs) of hospitalisation associated with the drugs of interest. Between 1 January 2007, and 31 December 2018, 80 patients visited the ED for AEs related to the triple whammy, and a total of 261 suspected drugs were involved. Patients were mostly Caucasian females, with a median age of 85 years, and only 9 of them had renal manifestations. In this subset, drug-drug interaction contributed to kidney injury. Most patients presented a Charlson comorbidity index of 4-5. Overall, 47 patients were hospitalised (58.75%), but no significant differences in the risk of hospitalisation were found according to demographic, clinical, or therapeutic features.
