An Unexpected Diagnostic Twist in an Elderly Patient: No Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is considered to be the dominant cause of dyspnea and pulmonary hypertension (PH) in elderly patients with preserved left ventricular systolic function and cardiovascular comorbidities. However, it is important to keep in mind that left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is not the only possible cause of PH in cases of late-onset clinical manifestation. A multiparametric approach is essential for accurate diagnosis and therapeutic decision-making. A 74-year-old patient was admitted due to progressive dyspnea and suspicion of PH. Given the patient's risk profile, HFpEF and concomitant post-capillary PH were anticipated. Despite negative findings on CT angiography and transesophageal echocardiography, right heart catheterization was performed, revealing discrepant oxygen saturations in the superior vena cava and right atrium. A partial anomalous pulmonary venous return and an atrial septal defect were identified through cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
