Relative Impairments in Hemodynamic Exercise Reserve Parameters in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: A Study-Level Pooled Analysis.

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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to compare the relative impairment in different exercise hemodynamic reserve parameters in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and control patients using a study-level meta-analysis.
backgroundA cardinal manifestation of chronic HFpEF is severely decreased exercise capacity. Developing effective therapies for exercise intolerance in HFpEF requires optimal understanding of the factors underlying exercise intolerance.
methodsData were included from 17 unique cohorts that measured peak oxygen uptake and hemodynamic or echocardiographic parameters during exercise in patients with HFpEF and control subjects in this meta-analysis. Standardized mean differences (SMDs) in the exercise reserve (exercise - resting) measures of hemodynamic or echocardiographic parameters between the HFpEF and control groups were pooled in a random-effects meta-analysis.
resultsThe pooled analysis included 910 patients with HFpEF and 476 control subjects. In pooled analysis, patients with HFpEF had significantly lower peak oxygen uptake (SMD: -2.13; 95% confidence interval [CI]: -2.68 to -1.57). Among hemodynamic exercise reserve parameters, the largest impairment was observed in chronotropic response reserve (change in heart rate from rest to peak exercise; SMD: -1.87; 95% CI: -2.44 to -1.29), followed by exaggerated increase in pulmonary capillary wedge pressure with exercise (SMD: 1.78; 95% CI: 1.46 to 2.09). Significant abnormalities were also observed in the arteriovenous oxygen difference reserve and stroke volume reserve between the HFpEF and control groups.
conclusionsThe most consistent and severe hemodynamic reserve abnormalities observed in patients with HFpEF were impairment in chronotropic reserve and exaggerated increase in pulmonary capillary wedge pressure with exercise. These may be important targets for therapeutic strategies to improve exercise tolerance in patients with HFpEF.
