Nutrition in chronic heart failure patients: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Heart failure reviews, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 2 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
Nutrition is the primary source of energy production for myocardial contractility and to maintaining cardiac efficiency. Although many studies provided evidence of the benefits of nutritional intervention in chronic heart failure patients (CHF), these effects are not still completely understood. We searched in PubMed and Embase articles related to the following keywords: "chronic heart failure" with "diet," "nutrition," "insulin resistance," and "caloric restriction." Of the 975 retrieved articles, 20 have been selected. The primary endpoint was the left ventricular (LV) function and the secondary mortality rate in HF patients. Some studies showed that the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) had a beneficial effect on cardiac function, while others did not find any positive impact. Nutritional supplements and hypercaloric intake had positive effects on underweight HF patients, while hypocaloric diet was beneficial in obese HF patients improving glucose control and cardiac function. The effect of MedDiet in HF patients showed conflicting results. Changes in the dietary pattern can reduce the evolution of HF, considering not only the quality of food but also the caloric intake. The discriminant factor to prescribe a diet regime in HF patients is represented by body mass index (BMI). A well-balanced caloric diet represents an effective therapy in overweight HF patients to reduce the mortality rate. Long-term studies evaluating cause-effect of energy and macronutrients intake on cardiac function in HF patients are necessary.
