Diastolic and systolic heart failure: different stages or distinct phenotypes of the heart failure syndrome?
Review in Current heart failure reports, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
It remains uncertain if diastolic heart failure (DHF) is a distinct HF phenotype or a precursor stage of systolic HF (SHF). The unimodal distribution of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in HF, depressed LV long-axis shortening in DHF, and progression to eccentric LV remodeling in hypertension favor DHF and SHF as successive stages. These arguments are countered by the bimodal distribution of LVEF after correction for gender, by the preserved LV twist in DHF and by the low incidence of eccentric LV remodeling in hypertension. Clinical features, LV anatomy and histology, cardiomyocyte stiffness, myocardial effects of diabetes, and the response to HF therapy support DHF and SHF as distinct phenotypes. Comparison of the myocardial signal transduction cascades that drive LV remodeling in DHF and SHF may solve the controversy. This review analyzes arguments supporting DHF and SHF as successive stages or distinct phenotypes of the HF syndrome.
