CA125, Galectin-3 and FGF-23 are interrelated in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
Article in EJIFCC, 2023. 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.
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
Background: Carbohydrate Antigen 125 (CA125) is the most widely used biomarker in ovarian cancer screening. In patients with heart failure (HF), increased levels of CA125 have been observed and related to disease severity. Our objective was to determine the association of CA125 levels with two biomarkers of adverse remodeling in HF patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Methods: CA125 circulating levels were determined with an electrochemiluminscent immunoassay. Concentrations of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), N-terminal proBNP (Nt-proBNP), Galectin-3 and Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (FGF23) were also measured by immunoassays. Results: CA125 levels were increased in HFrEF, were associated to disease severity according NYHA classes. Median CA125 concentration was also significantly related to cardiovascular mortality. CA125 concentrations were positively and significantly associated to Galectin-3 and FGF23. Conclusions: Concentrations of CA125 are increased in patients with HFrEF, associated to disease severity and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. CA125 levels are also correlated to Galectin-3 and FGF-23, two biomarkers related to fibrosis and cardiovascular remodeling.
