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.

Abstract

backgroundSodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) reduce heart failure (HF) events in patients with heart failure and mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFmr/pEF). The randomized comparison of SGLT2i/MRA combination versus SGLT2i or MRA alone requires further testing in HFmr/pEF.

aimsTo compare the efficacy (NT-proBNP change as primary outcome) and safety (potassium, creatinine, and blood pressure changes) of dapagliflozin/spironolactone combination versus dapagliflozin alone (primary comparison) and spironolactone alone (exploratory comparison).

methodsSOGALDI-PEF (SOdium-Glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, ALDosterone AntagonIst, or both for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; NCT05676684), a proof-of-concept investigator-initiated two-centre randomized cross-over trial comparing three arms (dapagliflozin, spironolactone, or both) for three periods of 12 weeks each intercalated by a wash-out period of 4 weeks. After two independent trials demonstrating efficacy of SGLT2i in HFmr/pEF, a mid-trial protocol amendment dropped the spironolactone alone sequence and reduced the wash-out period to 1 week. A sample size of 108 patients was estimated to provide 80% power, at a 0.05 alfa level, to detect a 0.15 LogNT-proBNP difference between the spironolactone/dapagliflozin combination and dapagliflozin alone sequence.

resultsSOGALDI-PEF included 108 patients with a median age of 76 years, 57% women, 42% with atrial fibrillation, 46% with type 2 diabetes, 33% having an eGFR below 60 mL/min/1.73m

conclusionsSOGALDI-PEF will be the first trial in HFmr/pEF to test the combination of dapagliflozin/spironolactone vs dapagliflozin alone in a randomized manner. SOGALDI-PEF will provide information on the potential efficacy and safety of concomitant administration of spironolactone with dapagliflozin vs dapagliflozin alone in an elderly population with HFmr/pEF.
