Partial obesity paradox regarding mortality in patients hospitalized with diastolic or systolic heart failure.
Article in Future cardiology, 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
introductionA phenomenon known as the obesity paradox has been reported in patients with heart failure (HF). The goal of this study is to characterize this observation in systolic (SHF) and diastolic (DHF) HF. METHODS AND
resultsWe used the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database for 2016-2020. We evaluated mortality based on body weight. A total of 7,364,023 with SHF and 10,064,223 with DHF were found in the NIS database. All-cause inpatient mortality was lowest in overweight followed by obesity and morbid obesity, whereas mortality was highest in cachexia for SHF and DHF (mortality: overweight 2.56%, obese 3.12%, morbidly obese 3.70%, normal weight 5.60%, and cachexia 15.22%;
conclusionsAll-cause inpatient mortality in SHF and DHF is lowest in overweight populations followed by obese and morbidly obese populations, whereas cachexia has the highest mortality.
