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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the safety of vericiguat in patients with coronary artery disease.
methodsWe conducted a comprehensive literature review of the PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Cochrane Library databases up to 27 March 2024. We included studies that compared vericiguat with placebo in patients with coronary artery disease. Clinical data were extracted, and adverse events were analyzed using Review Manager software (version 5.4) after conducting a quality assessment of the enrolled studies.
resultsThree randomized controlled trials involving 151 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Compared with the placebo group, vericiguat treatment resulted in a decrease in systolic blood pressure by 1.4-10 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by 0.4-6 mmHg, along with an increase in heart rate by 1.8-7 bpm, all of which are clinically insignificant. Vericiguat treatment demonstrated no significant serious adverse events [odds ratio (OR) = 1.97; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.39-9.91; P = 0.41]. However, a significant difference in adverse events between the two groups was noted (OR = 4.04; 95% CI = 2.17-7.52; P < 0.001).
conclusionThis meta-analysis suggests that vericiguat is a safe drug for use in patients with coronary artery disease; however, further clinical trials are needed to validate these findings. REGISTRATION: The study protocol has been prospectively registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024528105).
