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

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for about half of heart failure cases and is linked to aging, obesity, diabetes, and multimorbidity, yet disease-modifying therapies remain limited. A major barrier is heterogeneity: HFpEF comprises overlapping inflammatory, fibrotic, cardiometabolic, and hemodynamic/vascular endophenotypes embedded within systemic cardiorenal and cardiohepatic cross-talk, which conventional metrics such as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), natriuretic peptides (NPs), and standard imaging capture incompletely. In this narrative review, we synthesize clinical, mechanistic, and trial data to describe HFpEF endophenotypes and their multi-organ interactions; critically appraise why traditional diagnostic and enrollment strategies contributed to neutral outcomes in landmark trials; and survey emerging cardiovascular multi-omics studies. We then outline an integrative systems-biology framework that applies (i) within-layer analyses and cross-layer integration, (ii) network-based driver nomination and biomarker discovery, and (iii) target nomination to link molecular programs with circulating markers and candidate therapies. Finally, we discuss practical challenges in implementing multi-omics HFpEF research and highlight future directions such as artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled multi-omics integration, cross-organ profiling, and biomarker-guided, endotype-enriched platform trials. Collectively, these advances position HFpEF as a proving ground for precision cardiology, in which therapies are matched to molecularly defined disease programs rather than ejection-fraction cutoffs alone.
