Pseudo-nephropathy and hyper-excretion of urinary C-peptide: an overlooked adverse effect of an angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI).

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
Sacubitril/valsartan, which is a combined angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), is used for the treatment of chronic heart failure and hypertension. Substrates of neprilysin are numerous, and the systemic effects of an ARNI remain to be determined. Increased urinary C-peptide (UCPR) and urinary albumin (UAlb) excretion has been reported with the use of an ARNI, but the mechanism is still unknown. We report an 84-year-old man with type 2 diabetes and hypertension. His UAlb and UCPR excretion and (to a lesser degree) the estimated glomerular filtration rate were increased after ARNI administration. They returned to basal levels after discontinuing ARNI administration. There was little or no change in glycemic control. Therefore, increased glomerular permeability and filtration could partially explain how neprilysin inhibition led to an elevation in UCPR excretion, in addition to other mechanisms, such as impairment of the renal ability to degrade C-peptide. Physicians must be cautious when interpreting the insulin secretion capability by UCPR and nephropathy by UAlb in ARNI-treated patients with diabetes.
