Advances in Pharmacotherapies for Obesity-Related HFpEF: A Comprehensive Review.
Review in Current heart failure reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purpose of reviewThe global obesity epidemic has precipitated a surge in obesity-related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a distinct clinical phenotype characterized by exacerbated symptom burden, systemic inflammation, and impaired quality of life compared to non-obese HFpEF. While lifestyle modifications remain foundational, suboptimal adherence limits their efficacy. Bariatric surgery leads to the most dramatic and sustained weight loss but lacks a randomized trial for HFpEF-specific outcomes. RECENT
findingsRecent landmark trials (STEP-HFpEF, STEP-HFpEF DM, SUMMIT) demonstrate that incretin-based therapies-glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide/GLP-1 receptor agonists-significantly ameliorate heart failure symptoms, attenuate heart failure worsening, and induce weight loss in obese HFpEF patients, irrespective of diabetes status. However, long-term cardiovascular mortality benefits and safety profiles require further validation. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors and nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists MRAs exhibit prognostic benefits in HFpEF, with post hoc analyses suggesting enhanced efficacy in higher BMI subgroups. Conversely, angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors and the controlled metabolic accelerator HU6 lack randomized trials to support routine use. A combination of incretin-based therapies, SGLT2 inhibitors, and non-steroidal MRAs may represent the optimal evidence-based strategy for obesity-related HFpEF at present. Future research should prioritize standardized definitions of obesity, BMI thresholds, weight loss targets, optimal combination strategies, and long-term outcome assessments.
