Empagliflozin combined with sacubitril/valsartan in hypertensive patients with heart failure: a retrospective study of efficacy and effect on blood pressure variability and cardiac function.

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 evaluate the efficacy of empagliflozin combined with sacubitril/valsartan in treating hypertensive patients with heart failure (HF), focusing on its effects on blood pressure variability (BPV) and cardiac function.
methodsThis retrospective study included 101 patients with hypertension and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction treated at Baoji High-Tech Hospital from October 2021 to October 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: an observation group (n=51), treated with both empagliflozin and sacubitril/valsartan, and a control group (n=50), treated with sacubitril/valsartan alone. We compared the therapeutic effects, BPV (including 24-hour, daytime, and nighttime systolic and diastolic BPV), cardiac function indicators, levels of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) before and after treatment, and the incidence of adverse reactions between the groups. Independent risk factors affecting treatment efficacy were also analyzed.
resultsThe total effective rate of treatment in the observation group was significantly higher than in the control group (P<0.05). Both groups showed reductions in daytime and nighttime systolic and diastolic BPV after treatment, with the observation group displaying more pronounced improvements (all P<0.05). Enhancements in cardiac ultrasound measurements, NT-proBNP levels, and cTnI levels were more significant in the observation group compared to the control group post-treatment (both P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions during treatment between the two groups (P>0.05). Age and comorbid diabetes were identified as independent risk factors for poor prognosis, while treatment with empagliflozin combined with sacubitril/valsartan was a protective factor.
conclusionEmpagliflozin combined with sacubitril/valsartan significantly enhances treatment efficacy in hypertensive patients with heart failure, effectively improves cardiac function and BPV, and demonstrates good safety.
