Natriuretic Peptide Levels and Stages of Left Ventricular Dysfunction in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction.
Article in Biomedicines, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
In heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), natriuretic peptide (NP) levels are frequently lower. In several trials, the outcome differed between patients with low and high NP levels. This suggests that NP could be used to identify distinct stages of left ventricular (LV) remodeling and myocardial tissue composition. This study investigated cardiac remodeling/dysfunction and myocardial tissue characteristics assessed by echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in HFpEF patients in relation to NP levels. Clinical and echocardiographic data of 152 HFpEF patients were derived from outpatient visits. A total of 71 HFpEF patients underwent CMR-derived T1-mapping. Multivariable regression analyses were performed to examine the association of NT-proBNP categories (</> median) and NT-proBNP as continuous variable with echocardiography and CMR-derived T1-mapping. Mean age was 71 ± 9, 93% of patients were women and median NT-proBNP was 195 pg/mL, with 35% of patients below the diagnostic cut-off value (<125 pg/mL). Patients with high NT-proBNP had comparable LV systolic function and LV relaxation but significantly worse LV stiffness and left atrial function compared with patients with low NT-proBNP. Higher NT-proBNP was significantly associated with higher LV stiffness and extracellular volume fraction (ECV) (β = 1.82, 95% CI: 0.19;3.44,
