Nothing Is Wrong With My Heart: Patient-Reported Understanding of Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 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
backgroundHeart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) represents the fastest growing subtype of heart failure, and one-half of patients with HFpEF are unaware of a heart failure diagnosis. The purpose of this study was to explore patient-reported barriers to understanding HFpEF.
methodsAdult patients with HFpEF, recruited from a local health care system, participated in a qualitative study. Participants were asked to describe their heart condition and what they want to learn more. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using thematic analysis.
resultsTwenty-one participants with HFpEF, aged 60 years, 62% Black, and 67% women, were included. Most participants had at least a high school degree (72%). Mean duration of heart failure was 4 years; 95% had hypertension, 43% had diabetes, and mean body mass index was 38.4 kg/m
conclusionsParticipants were not aware they had HFpEF and expressed multiple suggestions for future interventions.
