Increased resting heart rate indicates high-workload hearts with augmented aortic hydraulic power in hypertensive pigs.
Article in PloS one, 2025. 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
Clarifying the inceptive pathophysiology of hypertensive heart disease helps to impede the disease progression. Through coarctation of the infrarenal abdominal aorta (AA), we induced hypertension in minipigs and evaluated physiological reactions and morpho-functional changes of the heart. Moderate aortic coarctation was achieved with approximately 30 mmHg systolic pressure gradient in minipigs. Hypertension was assessed by pressure increment of the carotid artery. Perioperative heart rate (HR) was recorded. We measured aortic flow rate and pressure proximal to coarctation to calculate hydraulic power, an indicator for cardiac workload, and resistance. The hearts harvested at sacrifice were examined for myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis, and dysfunction. The parameters capable of indicating high-workload heart and their prediction effectiveness were determined by cluster and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses. Prolonged AA coarctation for 8-12 weeks induced hypertension in a portion of minipigs. The cluster of minipigs exhibiting increased aortic hydraulic power displayed hypertension and mean HR elevation without changing arterial resistance. Notably, the blood pressure and HR were measured under full anesthesia, equivalent to resting status. Myocardial hypertrophy was not detected at the tissue, cellular or molecular levels. Expression of biomarkers for cellular stress and heart failure didn't increase except for heat shock protein 40. ROC analysis showed that aortic hydraulic power, resting HR, and mean blood pressure, but not arterial resistance, can serve as the indicators for high-workload hearts. These results suggested that resting HR increase in hypertensive pigs indicates hearts with high workload. Heart failure may develop without appropriate treatment.
