Early Changes in Cardiac Macrophage Subsets in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a complex syndrome characterized by left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, exercise intolerance, low-grade chronic inflammation, and comorbidities such as hypertension, obesity, and glucose intolerance. Myocardial infiltration by activated macrophages has been proposed as a mechanism linking low-grade inflammation to increased diastolic LV stiffness in HFpEF. Changes in the relative abundance of cardiac macrophage populations may precede and promote the development of HFpEF in the aged heart. This study aimed to characterize the cardiac macrophage subsets that predominate during progression from experimental preclinical to established HFpEF. To generate the model, wild-type male C57BL/6N mice were randomized to control chow or a combination of high-fat diet plus L-NAME in drinking water for 5 weeks (asymptomatic pre-HFpEF) or 15 weeks (established HFpEF). At the end of each period, we measured body weight, running distance, metabolic biomarkers, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, myocardial function and morphology, cardiac remodeling by hypertrophic markers, morphometric analyses, fibrosis, cytokines TNF-α and IL-10, cardiac macrophage phenotype profiles (CCR2
