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

<p>Introduction: For heart failure (HF) with iron deficiency (ID), the benefits of intravenous iron might differ according to kidney function.

methodsIRONMAN was a randomised, open-label trial of intravenous ferric derisomaltose (FDI) versus usual care (UC) in patients with HF, left ventricular ejection fraction ≤45%, and ID (transferrin saturation <20% and/or ferritin <100 µg/L). The primary composite endpoint of recurrent hospitalisation for HF and cardiovascular (CV) death was lower in those assigned to FDI. Analysis according to baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is now reported, with outcomes assessed in 3 categories of eGFR.

resultsOf 1,137 patients randomised, eGFR was <45 mL/min/1.73 m2 for 435 (38%), 45-59 mL/min/1.73 m2 for 295 (26%), and ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for 407 (36%). Patients with eGFR <45 mL/min/1.73 m2 were older and had more severe HF and more events. For the primary outcome, the primary endpoint rates per 100 patient-years for FDI versus UC across eGFR categories were 164 and 213 (rate ratio [RR]: 0.77 [95% CI: 0.57, 1.03]), 84 and 105 (RR: 0.79 [95% CI: 0.51, 1.22]), 88 and 93 (RR: 0.98 [95% CI: 0.62, 1.54]), respectively, but no statistically significant interaction between eGFR category and treatment effect was observed (p

conclusionFor patients with HF and ID, those with eGFR <45 mL/min/1.73 m2 are more symptomatic, have worse outcomes, and might receive greater benefit from FDI. Analysis of other randomised trials, ideally an individual patient data meta-analysis, are required to confirm these findings. </p>.
