Interleukin-17, Interleukin-18, T Regulatory Cells, and T-Helper 17 (Th17) Cells Play a Role in Heart Failure: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Cardiology research and practice, 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
Background: The objective of this study was to assess whether interleukin-17 or 18 (IL-17 or IL-18), regulatory T cells (Tregs), and T helper17 (Th17) serum concentrations were different in chronic heart failure not associated with myocarditis compared to healthy individuals. Methods: We searched MEDLINE and Embase for studies with data on IL-17 or IL-18 serum concentrations in patients with chronic heart failure. Forest plots were used to quantify results and depict the standard difference of means, 95% confidence interval (CI), and Results: IL-17 was significantly ( Conclusion: Serum IL-17, IL-18 Th17, and Treg count have utility for risk stratification for patients with heart failure, as biomarkers for heart failure severity and potential target pathways for treatment.
