1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

There is a growing number of individuals living with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) or preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Long-term prognosis remains poor in both cases, especially in HFpEF, which is rising in incidence and lacks effective therapeutics. In both HFrEF and HFpEF, there is evidence that elevated inflammatory biomarkers, implicating innate immune cells such as macrophages, are associated with worsened clinical outcomes. Macrophage subsets are active in both inflammatory and reparative processes, yet our understanding of the causative roles for these cells in HF development and progression is incomplete. Here, we discuss recent findings interrogating the role of macrophages in inflammation and its resolution in the context of HF, with a specific focus on HFrEF versus HFpEF.
