1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is a challenging condition characterised by interdependent dysfunction of the heart and kidneys. Despite advancements in understanding its pathophysiology, clinical management remains complex due to overlapping mechanisms and high rates of diuretic resistance. Relevant literature was identified through a comprehensive narrative review of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases, focusing on pivotal trials relating to CRS from 2005 to 2024. This review aims to provide a pragmatic, evidence-based approach to acute CRS management by addressing common misconceptions, outlining diagnostic strategies, and proposing a structured algorithm to manage diuretic resistance. We discuss the role of thoracic and venous excess ultrasound (VeXUS) in providing reliable measures of systemic congestion, natriuresis-guided sequential nephron blockade, and more targeted therapies, including ultrafiltration in refractory cases. In addition, we explore emerging trials that target renal hypoperfusion and venous congestion in CRS. Designed for a broad audience, including general physicians, cardiologists, and nephrologists, this review integrates clinical evidence with practical guidance to support effective and timely decision-making in the care of patients with CRS.
