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

aimsAngiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) therapy has demonstrated improved outcomes in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). However, its benefits in patients with concomitant kidney failure undergoing replacement therapy remain uncertain. METHODS AND

resultsUsing the National Health Insurance Service database, we identified individuals with HFrEF and kidney failure receiving replacement therapy who were prescribed either ARNI or renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers between 2017 and 2021. After applying inverse probability of treatment weighting, we compared 2104 patients on ARNI with 2191 on RAS blockers. The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause mortality and any hospitalization. Secondary endpoints included all-cause mortality, any hospitalization and cardiovascular mortality. During a median follow-up of 19.1 months, ARNI use was associated with a significantly lower risk of the primary endpoint (hazard ratio [HR] 0.86, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.75-0.97) compared with RAS blockers. ARNI also showed a reduced risk of all-cause mortality (HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.54-0.86), any hospitalization (HR 0.86, 95% CI 0.75-0.98) and cardiovascular mortality (HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.52-0.89). Subgroup analyses demonstrated consistent associations across age, sex, comorbidities and medications. Good adherence to ARNI was linked to a lower risk of the primary outcome, whereas non-adherence showed no benefit.

conclusionsAmong HFrEF patients with kidney failure receiving replacement therapy, ARNI use was associated with lower risks of all-cause mortality, any hospitalization and cardiovascular mortality compared with RAS blockers, particularly in those with good adherence to therapy.
