Females and Exercise Capacity Impairment in Heart Failure: A Sex-Focused Analysis.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, 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
Heart failure (HF) is becoming increasingly common, especially in older females, and displays marked sex-related differences in pathophysiology, treatment, and outcomes. Submaximal exercise capacity (SEC), frequently measured by the six-minute walk test (6MWT), is an important marker of aerobic function, prognosis, and quality of life in HF. However, evidence regarding sex differences in SEC remains limited and inconsistent. This single-centre, prospective cohort study included 1069 patients with chronic HF enrolled between 2004 and 2014. SEC was assessed using the 6MWT, and extensive clinical and psychosocial data were collected. Multivariate models evaluated the independent association between sex and SEC. Results showed that females had significantly shorter 6MWT distances (155 ± 149 m) than males (265 ± 164 m;
