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

There are many glucose-lowering agents used in patients with heart failure, showing mixed results, this study was conducted to determine the effect of liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue, on the treatment of patients with heart failure. Patients from the FIGHT and LIVE trials were included, all overlapped data were summarized and described. No significant changes from baseline in left ventricular ejection fraction, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, hemoglobin A1c, heart rate, left ventricular end-systolic volume index, left ventricular end-diastolic volume index, and 6 min walk test were observed in FIGHT. In LIVE, liraglutide significantly decreased hemoglobin A1c and inceased 6 min walk test and increased heart rate and serious cardiac adverse events, and there were no statistical differences in left ventricular ejection fraction, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, left ventricular end-systolic volume index, and left ventricular end-diastolic volume index. In this study, we found that there is not enough reason to support the use of liraglutide in patients with heart failure, and importantly, the safety of liraglutide in this particular population remains uncertain. Enhanced recognition the risks and benefits of liraglutide would help guide therapeutic decisions in patients with heart failure.
