First-in-Human Experience of Mechanical Preload Control in Patients With HFpEF During Exercise.
Article in JACC. Basic to translational science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Exercise intolerance remains one of the major factors determining quality of life in heart failure patients. In 6 patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) undergoing invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing, balloon inflation within the inferior vena cava (IVC) was performed during exercise to reduce and maintain pulmonary arterial (PA) pressures. Partial IVC occlusion significantly reduced PA pressures without reducing cardiac output. Partial IVC occlusion significantly reduced respiratory rate at matched levels of exercise. These findings highlight the importance of pulmonary pressures in the pathophysiology of HFpEF and suggest that therapies targeting hemodynamics may improve symptoms and exercise capacity in these patients.
