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

Heart failure (HF), the advanced stage of diverse cardiac conditions, poses a significant public health challenge. This study analyzes adverse event (AE) signals associated with HF within the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database, offering critical insights to guide rational medication use in clinical settings. Adverse event reports (AERs) associated with HF in the FAERS database, spanning from the first quarter of 2004 to the fourth quarter of 2024, were analyzed. The potential HF risk of drugs was assessed using the disproportionality analysis, with findings juxtaposed against the American Heart Association (AHA) drug list. Drug-induced HF cases showed equivalent distribution between male and female, and high rates of rehospitalization and mortality. Prominent hypoglycemic drugs associated with HF included rosiglitazone, pioglitazone, and saxagliptin. Combination therapies, such as metformin/saxagliptin and metformin/rosiglitazone, also demonstrated elevated risks. In the context of pulmonary hypertension, drugs like macitentan, selexipag, and epoprostenol were particularly notable. Analysis against the AHA drug list confirmed stronger signal strength and frequency among Class A drugs, validating our results. Furthermore, drugs not flagged as positively signaling in the AHA registry, such as amiodarone, aliskiren, and testosterone, merit closer scrutiny due to their potential for adverse reactions. Our analysis of the FAERS database has identified medications associated with potential HF risks, providing valuable evidence to inform clinical decision-making and promote the safe use of medications.
