Impact of Initial Heart Rate, Diastolic Pressure, and Pulse Pressure on Prognostic Outcomes in Heart Failure Patients with Mildly Reduced Ejection Fraction.

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: Heart rate, diastolic pressure, and pulse pressure are key modifiable factors influencing heart failure prognosis. While heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) is a distinct subgroup of heart failure, the prognostic impact of these hemodynamic parameters in this population remains unclear, necessitating focused investigation. This study aims to elucidate their effects on HFmrEF patient outcomes. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 1,653 hFmrEF patients treated at Xiangtan Central Hospital (2015-2020). Using decision tree classification, patients were categorized based on initial heart rate (≤77 bpm and >77 bpm). The ≤77 bpm group was further divided by pulse pressure (≤37 mmHg and >37 mmHg), and the >77 bpm group by diastolic pressure (≤63 mmHg, 63-100 mmHg, and >100 mmHg). Multivariate COX regression assessed mortality associations. Results: With a median follow-up of 33 months, overall mortality was 21.7% for heart rates ≤77 bpm and 30.4% for >77 bpm. Multivariate COX regression showed that among patients with heart rates ≤77 bpm, those with pulse pressure >37 mmHg had a higher mortality risk than those with pulse pressure ≤37 mmHg (HR 3.184; 95% CI 1.008-10.058; p=0.048). For patients with heart rates >77 bpm, those with diastolic pressure 63-100 mmHg had a lower mortality risk compared to ≤63 mmHg (HR=0.652, 95% CI: 0.450-0.943, p=0.023), with the lowest risk in patients with diastolic pressure >100 mmHg (HR=0.370, 95% CI: 0.205-0.666, p=0.001). Conclusion: This study highlights that HFmrEF patients with heart rates ≤77 bpm and pulse pressure ≤37 mmHg had the lowest mortality risk, while those with heart rates >77 bpm and diastolic pressure ≤63 mmHg faced the highest risk. These findings provide valuable insights for risk stratification and may guide personalized management of HFmrEF patients.
