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

backgroundWhile clinical benefits of guideline-directed medical therapy in patients with heart failure (HF) are well established, acute hemodynamic changes after initiation of these agents are not well described. Wireless pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) monitoring using implantable sensors is ideally suited to determine changes in pressure following medication titration.

methodsWe compared PAP from 7 days pre-initiation to the 7-day period following 30 days of newly initiated treatment with core HF therapies: angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors, and β-blockers in patients implanted with a PAP sensor (CardioMEMS, Abbott) as part of the GUIDE-HF study (Hemodynamic-Guided Management of HF). Patients with changes in loop diuretics or other core HF therapies during the 30-day interval were excluded from the analysis.

resultsOf 2358 patients in the study, 50 patients had new angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor initiation, 97 patients had new sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor initiation, 112 patients had new mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist initiation, and 33 had new β-blocker initiation at least 30 days post-implant, continued to take the medication for at least 30 days, and were included in this analysis. Following angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor or mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist initiation, diastolic PAP decreased by -1.56 (95% CI, -3.54 to -0.40) and -1.15 (95% CI, -1.82 to -0.47) mm Hg, respectively, in the absence of changes in loop diuretics or other core HF therapies. By contrast, there was no detectable change in PAP following the new initiation of the sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor. A trend to higher PAP was observed after β-blocker initiation though differences were not significant.

conclusionsThese results may inform the selection of pharmacological therapy to manage elevated filling pressures during hemodynamic-guided therapy. REGISTRATION: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov; Unique identifier: NCT03387813.
