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

backgroundPulmonary hypertension (PH) is present in over two-thirds of patients who experience heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and it worsens their prognosis, particularly when combined with right ventricular dysfunction. Effective treatments for HFpEF-related PH are limited. CASE SUMMARY: A 70-year-old woman presented with severe exertional dyspnea and hypoxia. Echocardiography revealed a preserved ejection fraction with advanced diastolic dysfunction, as well as severe PH. Right heart catheterization showed pulmonary pressures at systemic levels and elevated left-sided filling pressures. Significant symptom improvement and normalized pulmonary pressures were noted after treatment with sacubitril-valsartan and a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. DISCUSSION: Although sacubitril-valsartan and SGLT2 inhibitors have been proven effective in HFpEF, their specific role in HFpEF-PH remains unclear. This case highlights their potential to improve hemodynamics and symptoms in this challenging patient population. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Sacubitril-valsartan and SGLT2 inhibitors may be effective for treating PH in HFpEF; further investigation is warranted.
