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

Natriuretic peptides (NPs) encompass a family of structurally related hormone/paracrine factors acting through the natriuretic peptide system regulating cell proliferation, vessel tone, inflammatory processes, neurohumoral pathways, fluids, and electrolyte balance. The three most studied peptides are atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and C-Type natriuretic peptide (CNP). ANP and BNP are the most relevant NPs as biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of heart failure and underlying cardiovascular diseases, such as cardiac valvular dysfunction, hypertension, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, persistent arrhythmias, and cardiomyopathies. Cardiac dysfunctions related to cardiomyocytes stretching in the atria and ventricles are primary elicitors of ANP and BNP release, respectively. ANP and BNP would serve as biomarkers for differentiating cardiac versus noncardiac causes of dyspnea and as a tool for measuring the prognosis of patients with heart failure; nevertheless, BNP has been shown with the highest predictive value, particularly related to pulmonary disorders. Plasma BNP has been reported to help differentiate cardiac from pulmonary etiologies of dyspnea in adults and neonates. Studies have shown that COVID-19 infection also increases serum levels of N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and BNP. This narrative review assesses aspects of ANP and BNP on their physiology, and predictive values as biomarkers. We present an overview of the NPs' synthesis, structure, storage, and release, as well as receptors and physiological roles. Following, considerations focus on ANP versus BNP, comparing their relevance in settings and diseases associated with respiratory dysfunctions. Finally, we compiled data from guidelines for using BNP as a biomarker in dyspneic patients with cardiac dysfunction, including its considerations in COVID-19.
