Sympathetic drive stimulating diastolic dysfunction?
Article in Journal of nuclear cardiology : official publication of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Diastolic heart failure accounts for half of the heart failure population and its pathophysiology remains an area of active research. The renin angiotensin and aldosterone axis has been the focus of clinical trials to treat patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, however with limited yield in terms of clinical success. Sympathetic activity has been considered a plausible cause for the molecular changes that lead to diastolic dysfunction. Based on this understanding the study by Gimelli et al uses MIBG to evaluate for association between diastolic dysfunction and sympathetic denervation. The results of this study set the stage for a follow up study for evaluation of sympathetic denervation in isolated diastolic dysfunction.
