Association of Proximal Tubule Secretion With Hyperkalemia Risk, Treatment Response, and Outcomes in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction.
Article in Kidney medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Rationale & Objective: Endogenous biomarkers reflecting impaired kidney tubular secretion are associated with risk of hyperkalemia in patients with hypertension and chronic kidney disease. Whether these biomarkers are associated with risk of hyperkalemia, therapeutic response, and adverse cardiovascular and kidney events in heart failure (HF) patients receiving mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists is unknown. Study Design: An observational cohort study. Setting & Participants: Individuals with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) enrolled in the TOPCAT study. Predictors: Summary secretion score incorporating urine-to-plasma ratios of 9 secretion markers measured in paired samples at baseline. Outcomes: Change in serum potassium during follow-up, measures of treatment response assessed by change in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) score and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide over 12 months, and adverse cardiovascular and kidney events. Analytic Approach: Linear mixed-effects models, Cox proportional hazards models, and linear regression adjusting for risk factors, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio. Results: Among 372 TOPCAT participants, 179 (48%) were randomized to spironolactone, 45% were women, the mean age was 70 ± 10 years and estimated glomerular filtration rate was 66 ± 18 mL/min/1.73 m Limitations: Low number of events, confounding from Eastern Europe participants who may have not had HFpEF or taken prescribed therapies. Conclusions: Biomarkers of tubular secretion are not associated with risk of hyperkalemia, treatment response, or cardiovascular and kidney events in individuals with HFpEF.
