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) is a highly heterogeneous syndrome that poses challenges for therapeutic development and contributes to suboptimal patient outcomes. The phenotypic classification of patients with HFpEF to guide etiology-specific therapeutic strategies represents a rational approach to address the current dilemma. However, the clinical outcomes of HFpEF under different etiological classifications remain poorly understood. Here, we assessed the clinical outcomes of HFpEF patients across different etiological phenotypes, based on a novel classification system comprising five categories: vascular-related, cardiomyopathy-related, right heart/pulmonary-related, valvular/rhythm-related, and extracardiac disease-related HFpEF. Data from the Chinese Cardiovascular Association Database-Heart Failure Center Registry (2017-2021) were analyzed, including 51,466 hospitalized HFpEF patients with 1-year follow-up. Significant differences in baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes were observed among phenotypes. Patients with right heart/pulmonary-related, valvular/rhythm-related, and extracardiac disease-related HFpEF showed a higher incidence of adverse outcomes. Specifically, the right heart/pulmonary-related and valvular/rhythm-related phenotypes were associated with increased heart failure rehospitalization, while extracardiac disease-related HFpEF was linked to higher cardiovascular mortality. Prognostic risk factors also varied across phenotypes. In conclusion, 1-year outcomes exhibit significant variations across HFpEF phenotypic subgroups. Future studies should explore whether phenotype-specific personalized treatment strategies can improve clinical outcomes, especially in high-risk phenotypes.
