Comparison of the effect of Sacubitril/Valsartan with Losartan and Captopril in improving right ventricular function in patients with right heart failure, a randomized clinical controlled trial.

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
Background: There is evidence supporting the efficacy of Sacubitril /Valsartan for improving left heart failure, but few studies have examined its effects on right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. The current study aimed to investigate the effects of Sacubitril /Valsartan on RV dysfunction in patients with right heart failure. Methods: The current study was a randomized and parallel clinical trial study. Patients over 18 years with any degree of right heart failure regardless of Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were included. The included patients were assigned randomly to three study arms using simple random allocation, i.e. the intervention group (Sacubitril Valsartan recipients) and the control groups (Losartan and Captopril recipients). The SPSS software version 19 was used for data analysis. Results: The changes in LVEF, RV FAC, RV diameter, DOE grade, and TAPSE in the Sacubitril/Valsartan group were significantly higher than the other two groups. The severity of RV dysfunction, as well as TR (Tricuspid Regurgitation) severity, decreased significantly three months after the intervention compared to the beginning of the intervention in all groups especially in the Sacubitril/Valsartan group (p: 0.006). The mortality rate in the Sacubitril/Valsartan, Losartan, and Captopril groups, were 2 (6.7%), 2 (11.2%), and 1 (7.7%) respectively (p: 0.83). Also, 27.6, 62.5, and 7.7% of cases in the Sacubitril/Valsartan, Losartan, and Captopril reached to optimum dose (p: 0.006). Conclusions: Considering the results, it seems that Sacubitril/Valsartan has a positive effect on improving RV dysfunction in patients with right heart disorders.
