Review in Cardiac failure review, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is the most common cause of hospitalisation for heart failure. However, only limited effective treatments are available. Recent evidence suggests that HFpEF may result from a systemic proinflammatory state, microvascular endothelial inflammation and microvascular rarefaction. Formation of new microvasculature in ischaemic tissues is dependent on CD34+ cells, which incorporate into the newly developing vasculature and produce pro-angiogenic cytokines. In HFpEF patients, worsening of diastolic function appears to correlate with decreased numbers of CD34+ cells. Therefore, it is plausible that increasing the myocardial numbers of CD34+ cells could theoretically lead to improved microvascular function and improved diastolic parameters in HFpEF. In accordance with this hypothesis, recent pilot clinical data suggest that CD34+ cell therapy may indeed be associated with improved diastolic function and better functional capacity in HFpEF patients and could thus represent a promising novel therapeutic modality for this patient population.
