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

objectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of sacubitril/valsartan combined with dapagliflozin in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

methodsA retrospective study included 400 HFrEF patients (control group: sacubitril valsartan, n=200; observation group: add dapagliflozin, n=200) treated for 6 months. Cardiac function, NT-proBNP, 6MWT, MACE, readmission rate, and adverse reactions were compared.

resultsAfter treatment, LVEF increased in both groups (control: 32.5 ± 5.6% to 38.6 ± 6.2%; observation: 32.8 ± 5.4% to 42.3 ± 6.5%, P<0.05), with greater improvement observed in observation group. LVEDD, LVESD, and NT-proBNP decreased, while 6MWT increased in both groups (all P<0.05), with superior changes in observation group. Readmission rate (8.5% vs. 16.0%, P=0.022) and MACE (6.0% vs. 9.5%, P=0.040) were significantly lower in observation group. No significant differences in adverse reactions between groups (all P>0.05).

conclusionSacubitril valsartan combined with dapagliflozin improves cardiac function, reduces NT-proBNP, enhances exercise tolerance, and lowers readmission and MACE rates without increasing adverse reactions, offering better clinical net benefit than sacubitril valsartan alone.
