1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundDespite the high morbidity and mortality of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), treatment options remain limited. The HFpEF syndrome is associated with a high comorbidity burden, including high prevalence of obesity and hypertension. Although inflammation is implicated to play a key role in HFpEF pathophysiology, underlying causal mechanisms remain unclear.

methodsComparing patient samples and animal models, we defined the innate immune response during HFpEF in situ and through flow cytometry and single-cell RNA sequencing. After identifying transcriptional and cell signatures, we implemented a high-fat diet and hypertensive model of HFpEF and tested roles for myeloid and hematopoietic stem cells during HFpEF. Contributions of macrophage metabolism were also evaluated, including through mass spectrometry and carbon labeling. Primary macrophages were studied ex vivo to gain insight into complementary cell-intrinsic mechanisms.

resultsHere we report evidence that patients with cardiometabolic HFpEF exhibit elevated peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cells. This phenotype was conserved across species in a murine mode of high-fat diet and hypertension. Hematopoietic stem cell proliferation was coupled to striking remodeling of the peripheral hematopoietic stem cell niche and expression of the macrophage adhesion molecule

conclusionsThese findings identify a significant new stem cell signature of cardiometabolic HFpEF and support a role for myeloid maladaptive fatty acid metabolism in the promotion of systemic inflammation and cardiac diastolic dysfunction.
