Role of physical training in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
Review in Current heart failure reports, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03111017 (Mechanisms and Management of Exercise Intolerance in Older Heart Failure Patients With Preserved Ejection Fraction), which is not on this map. Cited by 26 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
About 50% or more of heart failure (HF) patients living in the community have preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFpEF), and the proportion is higher among women and the very elderly. A cardinal feature of HFpEF is reduced aerobic capacity, measured objectively as peak exercise pulmonary oxygen uptake (peak VO(2)), that results in decreased quality of life. Specifically, peak VO(2) of HFpEF patients is 30-70% lower than age-, sex-, and comorbidity-matched control patients without HF. The mechanisms for the reduced peak VO(2) are due to cardiovascular and skeletal muscle dysfunction that results in reduced oxygen delivery to and/or utilization by the active muscles. Currently, four randomized controlled exercise intervention trials have been performed in HFpEF patients. These studies have consistently demonstrated that 3-6 months of aerobic training performed alone or in combination with strength training is a safe and effective therapy to increase aerobic capacity and endurance and quality of life in HFpEF patients. Despite these benefits, the physiologic mechanisms underpinning the improvement in peak exercise performance have not been studied; therefore, future studies are required to determine the role of physical training to reverse the impaired cardiovascular and skeletal muscle function in HFpEF patients.
