A novel opportunity to improve heart failure care: focusing on subcutaneous furosemide.
Review in Heart failure reviews, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The prevalence of heart failure (HF) continues to rise in developed nations. Symptomatic congestion is the most common reason for patients to seek medical attention, and management often requires intravenous (IV) diuretic administration in the hospital setting. Typically, the number of admissions increases as the disease progresses, not only impacting patient survival and quality of life but also driving up healthcare expenditures. pH-neutral furosemide delivered subcutaneously using a proprietary, single-use infusor system (Furoscix) has a tremendous potential to transition in-hospital decongestive therapy to the outpatient setting or to the patient's home. This review is aimed at providing an overview of the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic profile of the novel pH-neutral furosemide in addition to the most recent clinical trials demonstrating its benefit when used in the home setting. Given the newest data and approval by the Food and Drug Administration in the US, it has the potential to revolutionize the care of patients with decompensated HF. Undoubtedly, it will lead to improved quality of life as well as significantly reduced healthcare costs related to hospital admissions.
