Decreased and Increased Baroreceptor Sensitivity Are Associated With Incident Heart Failure in the Elderly: A 15-Year Follow-Up Study.
Article in Clinical cardiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimsCongestive heart failure (CHF) is associated with increased mortality. Early identification of individuals at risk for CHF may improve the poor prognosis. Decreased baroreceptor sensitivity (BRS) has been related to higher mortality in CHF. The aim was therefore to explore whether decreased BRS could identify patients at risk for the development of CHF. METHODS AND
resultsThe PIVUS (Prospective Investigation of the Vasculature in Uppsala Seniors) study (1016 individuals, all aged 70 years) was used for analysis of baroreceptor sensitivity, measured by sequence analysis (BRS
conclusionA decreased BRS was associated with incident CHF in an elderly population. An increased BRS was also found, although to a lesser degree, to be linked to CHF, which was a novel finding. If reproduced in further studies, BRS might prove to be useful for an early identification of CHF in clinical practice.
