Untargeted metabolomics unveils metabolic biomarkers in HFpEF.
Article in Frontiers in molecular biosciences, 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
Background: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a complex condition linked to metabolic disturbances. This study aimed to identify plasma metabolic signatures in HFpEF patients using untargeted metabolomic profiling. Methods: We analyzed data from 30 HFpEF patients and 30 matched healthy controls. Untargeted metabolomic profiling via UHPLC-MS/MS was conducted on venous blood to identify metabolic differences. Initial analyses included principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), and hierarchical clustering to detect differing compound groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and pathway enrichment were performed to identify dysregulated genes. Finally, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELlSA) was used to validate the serum levels of selected metabolites. Results: A total of 124 significantly different metabolites were identified (VIP >1.0, FC > 1.2 or <0.833, P < 0.05). Lipids and lipid-like molecules were notably altered in HFpEF patients. KEGG enrichment analysis indicated these metabolites were primarily involved in tryptophan metabolism. Hierarchical clustering showed distinct compound levels between groups. ROC curve analysis revealed PC 18:1-20:5 (AUC: 0.833) and PC 18:1-18:1 (AUC: 0.824) as key metabolites. ELlSA validation confirmed that serum Kynurenine and IAA levels were significantly elevated in HFpEF patients compared to HCs (p < 0.05).
