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

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether clinical characteristics and lipid metabolism parameters are associated with adverse prognosis in patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure (HF) with preserved or reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Methods: This study included 158 patients with chronic heart failure who were hospitalized at the Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital, Shaanxi, China, between January 2021 and October 2024. They were categorized based on their ejection fraction (EF) into a heart failure preserved EF group [heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF); Results: The HFpEF and HFrEF groups showed significant differences in clinical symptoms, including palpitations/angina, cough, sleep at night, lack of appetite, weight loss, abdominal distension, worrying, irritability, decreased libido, and hypertension ( Conclusions: In patients admitted with acute decompensated HF, clinical indicators of congestion, psychological distress, blood pressure load, total cholesterol, and HDL-C are associated with adverse prognosis. Higher HDL-C shows modest but independent prognostic value in acute HF, especially in HFpEF. Further studies are warranted to explore dynamic changes in HDL-C and its role as a metabolic biomarker in HFpEF.
