Serum insulin-like growth factor-1 as a potential prognostic biomarker for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction: a meta-analysis.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 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
Background: Most studies have indicated that peripheral insulin-like growth levels factor-1 (IGF-1) is valuable in diagnosing heart failure, although the results have been inconsistent. To help solve the debate, we performed a meta-analysis to explore the relationship between IGF-1 and heart failure (HF). Methods: We conducted an extensive search across various databases such as Embase, Cochrane Library, Pubmed, Medline, and Web of Science on May 30, 2023. From the extensive pool of studies, we selected 16 relevant articles, encompassing a total of 1,380 cases and 1,153 controls, to conduct a rigorous meta-analysis. Results: The total results indicated that there is an association between lower IGF-1 level and HF. The random-effects model yielded a pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) of -0.598 (95% CI: -1.081 to -0.116, Conclusions: Our meta-analysis has provided evidence suggesting a substantial correlation between reduced levels of IGF-1 and the occurrence of HF. Further prospective studies are necessary to ascertain the use of IGF-1 as a reliable biomarker for diagnosing HF, especially for HFrEF. But the diagnosis of HFpEF should be cautious.
