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

backgroundAlthough quadruple guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) improves outcomes in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), the optimal method to initiate and sequence quadruple therapy remains uncertain. CASE SUMMARY: Two patients with new-onset HFrEF achieved remission with symptom resolution and near-normalization of left ventricular ejection fraction and elevated N-terminal-pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels after administration of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, beta-blocker, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, without angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor or sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor. One patient received cardiac resynchronization therapy, and the other patient stopped using alcohol and prescription amphetamine/dextroamphetamine (Adderall). Remission has lasted ≥12 years in both patients. DISCUSSION: Methods are needed to identify which patients with new-onset HFrEF can achieve remission with fewer drugs than quadruple therapy. This personalized GDMT strategy would reduce costs and the risks of drug-related side effects. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Durable remission from new-onset HFrEF can be achieved with fewer drugs than quadruple GDMT. Diagnostic tools are needed to identify such patients.
