Effect of sacubitril-valsartan on left ventricular remodeling and NT-proBNP in patients with heart failure complicated with hypertension and reduced ejection fraction.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectiveTo analyze the effect of sacubitril-valsartan on left ventricular remodeling and NT-proBNP in heart failure patients with hypertension and reduced ejection fraction.
methodA retrospective analysis was conducted on 112 heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and concomitant hypertension who were treated in Baoji Central Hospital from May 2019 to October 2021. Standard heart failure treatment was applied in both groups. Besides, the observation group (n=60) was additionally treated with sacubitril/valsartan (initial dose of 50 mg twice daily, adjusted every 2-4 weeks by doubling the dose to a maximum of 200 mg twice daily based on the patients' actual conditions and tolerance), and the control group (n=52) received valsartan (80 mg once daily). The treatment duration for both groups was 6 months. Therapeutic efficacy, blood pressure, echocardiographic parameters, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and left ventricular remodeling before and after treatment were recorded and compared between the two groups, as well as the adverse drug reactions during the treatment and life quality after treatment. Finally, multifactor regression analysis was performed to screen the independent risk factors affecting patient prognosis.
resultsCompared with the CG, the overall response rate in the OG was evidently higher (P < 0.001); the improvements in blood pressure, NT-proBNP, interventricular septal thickness (IVST), left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWT) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) were more significant in the OG (all P < 0.001). Both groups showed marked improvements in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) and (left ventricular end-systolic diameter) LVESD compared to baseline, with more significant improvement in the OG compared with the CG (all P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups. However, post-treatment quality of life was much higher in the OG compared to the CG (P < 0.001). Comorbid diabetes and treatment regimen were identified as independent risk factors affecting patient prognosis.
conclusionSacubitril-valsartan can effectively improve blood pressure, cardiac function and ventricular remodeling in patients with HFrEF and hypertension without increasing adverse reactions. It is highly safe and worthy of clinical promotion.
