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

In a large-scale randomized controlled study of heart failure (HF), angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors (ARNI) reduced cardiovascular events compared to enalapril, but resulted in more symptomatic hypotension. However, changes in blood pressure (BP) during hospitalization in patients with decompensated HF treated with ARNI remain unknown. We retrospectively analyzed BP during hospitalization for decompensated HF in a multi-center registry. Among 166 patients treated with newly prescribed renin-angiotensin system inhibitor (75.7 ± 13.4 years, 57.2% men, and ejection fraction 39 ± 17%), 114 were treated with newly prescribed ARNI (ARNI group) and 52 were treated with newly prescribed angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers but without ARNI (ACEi/ARB group). The initial day of prescription was day 4 [2-6] for the ARNI group and day 3 [1-6] for the ACEi/ARB group. Three days after the initiation of each drug, systolic BP dropped from 132 ± 24 to 117 ± 19 mmHg (ARNI group, p < 0.001) and 131 ± 19 to 117 ± 21 mmHg (ACEi/ARB group, p < 0.001). A mixed-effects model showed similar BP reductions in both groups (p = 0.247). Herein we showed a downward trend in BP following ARNI initiation in decompensated HF. Early changes in BP after ARNI initiation were comparable with those in the ACEi/ARB group.
