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

objectivesThe aim of this study was to determine whether direct evidence shows that contemporary guideline-directed heart failure (HF) pharmacotherapies influence cardiac remodeling through hydrogen sulfide (H

designA systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA 2020. REGISTRATION: PROSPERO CRD420251238589. DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE (PubMed), Web of Science, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library; searches were initiated in March 2025, covered publications from January 2007 onward, and were last updated in November 2025. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Primary studies had to include (A) an HF or cardiac-remodeling model, (B) an HF-relevant pharmacological intervention, (C) direct assessment or manipulation of H

resultsOf the 40,796 unique records screened, 50 reports underwent full-text assessment and 14 unique studies were included. No study demonstrated that the remodeling benefits of ACE inhibitors, ARBs, ARNIs, beta-blockers, MRAs, hydralazine/isosorbide dinitrate, or SGLT2 inhibitors are mediated by endogenous H

conclusionsThe principal finding is negative but clinically important: direct evidence that H
