Retrospective study on the short-term efficacy of different doses of Spironolactone in patients with heart failure of ischemic cardiomyopath and the influence of ventricular remodeling markers.

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
objectiveTo evaluate the impact of varying dosages of Spironolactone on the short-term effectiveness and ventricular remodeling indicators in patients with Heart Failure of Ischemic Cardiomyopathy (HFIC).
methodsA cohort of 141 HFIC patients, admitted to our hospital between October 2018 and February 2023, were enrolled for this study. Alongside the standard treatment for Chronic Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), these patients were randomly assigned to either a low-dose (20 mg/d, N=70) or a high-dose (60 mg/d, N=71) Spironolactone group. After four weeks, various parameters were assessed and compared within each group before and after the treatment. These parameters included echocardiographic indices (LVEF, LVESD, LVEDD, LVESV, and LVEDV), New York Heart Association (NYHA) cardiac function classification, ventricular remodeling markers (hs-CRP, TNF-α, NT-pro BNP, Gal-3, MMP-9, and TIMP-4), and the Six Minute Walk Distance (6MWD).
resultsBoth low-dose and high-dose Spironolactone significantly improved LVEF and 6MWD in HFIC patients (
conclusionHigh-dose Spironolactone (60 mg/d) demonstrates superior efficacy over the low-dose (20 mg/d) in rapidly diminishing ventricular remodeling damage and enhancing cardiac function and clinical symptoms in HFIC patients over a short duration.
