Dietary sodium intake restriction in patients with heart failure: an overview of systematic reviews.
Review in Heart failure reviews, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This study aimed to identify, assess, and summarize systematic reviews on dietary sodium intake restrictions for patients with heart failure. Literature searches were conducted on Pubmed, CINAHL, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and the Wanfang Database up to January 2024. The methodological quality of the included reviews was assessed using the quality assessment tool from the Australian JBI Center for Evidence-Based Healthcare (2016). The results of systematic reviews and meta-analyses were synthesized and presented according to different outcome indicators. Nine systematic reviews were included in this study. The current evidence does not support the fact that dietary sodium intake restrictions for patients with heart failure have a positive impact on mortality rates, rehospitalization rates, and quality of life. Conversely, strict dietary sodium intake restrictions (≤ 2000 mg/day) may increase the risk of death, rehospitalization, and symptom exacerbation. Dietary sodium intake restriction may not have a positive impact on clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure. Nevertheless, more evidence is required to explore the differences in the impact of various levels of dietary sodium restriction on the outcomes and symptom management indicators of patients with heart failure.
