Malnutrition in acute heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: clinical correlates and prognostic implications.
Article in ESC heart failure, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 45 papers, 5 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimsThis study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of nutritional status in post-discharge Asians with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). METHODS AND
resultsWe examined the prognostic implications of body mass index (BMI) and nutritional markers among consecutive patients hospitalized for HFpEF. Nutritional metrics were estimated by serum albumin (SA), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score, and geriatric nutritional risk index. Among 1120 patients (mean age: 77.2 ± 12.6 years, 39.4% men), mean SA levels, PNI, CONUT scores, and geriatric nutritional risk index were 3.3 ± 0.6 g/dL, 40.2 ± 8.7, 5.5 ± 2.1, and 95.9 ± 14.5, respectively. Lean body size, higher white blood cell counts and C-reactive protein levels, anaemia, and lack of angiotensin blocker use were independently associated with malnutrition (defined by SA < 3.5 g/dL). Higher SA levels [hazard ratio (HR): 0.67 (95% confidence interval, CI: 0.53-0.85)], higher PNI [HR: 0.97 (95% CI: 0.95-0.99)], and higher geriatric nutritional risk index [HR: 0.98 (95% CI: 0.97-0.99)] (all P < 0.05) were all associated with longer survival, with higher CONUT score [HR: 1.08 (95% CI: 1.02-1.13)] exhibited higher mortality in Cox regression models and with higher SA levels/PNI but not BMI further contributing to the reduced rate of re-hospitalization (both P < 0.05). Categorizing BMI (25 kg/m
conclusionsMalnutrition was frequently and strongly associated with systemic inflammation in Asian patients hospitalized for acute HFpEF. Our findings also indicate that nutrition may play a pivotal role in metabolic protection in this population.
