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

Background: Heart failure (HF) is a significant complication in adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD), often requiring advanced therapeutic strategies. Angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors (ARNIs) have emerged as a promising alternative to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) in HF management. However, their safety and efficacy in ACHD-related HF remain unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to evaluate the impact of ARNIs on functional and safety outcomes in this unique patient population. Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies assessing the use of ARNIs in ACHD patients with HF, comparing them to ACEIs/ARBs. The primary outcome was the change in New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class (FC). Additionally, we assessed the safety profile of ARNIs in this population. Results: Our meta-analysis included 14 studies encompassing 305 patients. Substituting ACEIs/ARBs with ARNIs significantly improved the NYHA functional class (log odds ratio [log OR] 0.67, 95% CI 0.15-1.19; Conclusions: The addition of ARNIs to standard HF therapy may enhance functional outcomes in ACHD patients. However, the increased risk of hypotension and elevated serum creatinine levels necessitates careful monitoring. Further research is essential to better define the role of ARNIs in managing ACHD-related HF. Registration: URL: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero; Unique identifier: CRD42024591442.
