Profile of Obesity and Comorbidities in Elderly Patients with Heart Failure.
Article in Clinical interventions in aging, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05841173 (Effects of Weight Loss Management on Cognitive Function in Elderly Obese Women), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 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.

Abstract
background and purposeIn Romania, robust data about the prevalence of obesity and heart failure are lacking, especially in the elderly; therefore, this study aims to analyze the profile of overweight and obese patients aged >65 years admitted to a Romanian hospital for worsening heart failure, and also their risk in the presence of comorbidities. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in 126 consecutive elderly patients with overweight and obesity admitted to a Romanian hospital for worsening heart failure. They were divided into three groups: with reduced (<40%) - HFrEF, mid-range (40-49%) - HFmrEF and preserved (≥50%) ejection fraction - HFpEF. Obesity was defined according to the body mass index (BMI) status: obesity, ≥30 kg/m
resultsNT-proBNP values are negatively correlated with BMI only in patients with HFpEF. Creatinine clearance (p=0.0166), the presence of atrial fibrillation (p=0.0095) and NYHA functional class were independent predictors of increased NT-proBNP values. CCI score is negatively correlated with NT-proBNP values in patients with HFmrEF (r= -0.448, p=0.009) and HFpEF (r= -0.273, p=0.043). The CCI risk was not significantly different between the three groups.
conclusionElderly heart failure patients with overweight or obesity have particular characteristics in terms of NT-proBNP values and presence of comorbidities. In the studied population, NT-proBNP levels were strongly influenced by renal function, NYHA functional class, the presence of atrial fibrillation and left ventricular ejection fraction.
