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

backgroundDisrupted cardiomyocyte energy metabolism is a hallmark of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Succinate, a key intermediate of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, is markedly decreased in HFpEF myocardium. In addition to its metabolic role, succinate functions as a signaling molecule that activates GPR91 to regulate metabolic and immune pathways. However, the precise contributions and mechanisms of cardiomyocyte succinate-GPR91 signaling in HFpEF pathogenesis remain incompletely understood.

methodsHFpEF models were established in wild-type (WT), global GPR91 knockout (Gpr91

resultsCardiac succinate levels and GPR91 expression were markedly decreased in HFpEF mice. Succinate supplementation restored systemic metabolism, improved diastolic function, and attenuated myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis in WT HFpEF mice, whereas these protective effects were abolished in both Gpr91

conclusionThese findings identify the succinate-GPR91 axis as a critical regulator of cardiometabolic homeostasis and a potential therapeutic target in HFpEF.
