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) accounts for almost half of all heart failure (HF) cases worldwide. Unfortunately, its incidence is expected to continue to rise, and effective therapy to improve clinical outcomes is lacking. Numerous efforts currently directed towards the pathophysiology of human HFpEF are uncovering signal transduction pathways and novel therapeutic targets. The nitric oxide-cyclic guanosine phosphate-protein kinase G (NO-cGMP-PKG) axis has been described as an important regulator of cardiac function. Suppression of the NO-cGMP-PKG signalling pathway is involved in the progression of HFpEF. Therefore, the NO-cGMP-PKG signalling pathway is a potential therapeutic target for HFpEF. In this review, we aim to explore the mechanism of NO-cGMP-PKG in the progression of HFpEF and to summarize potential therapeutic drugs that target this signalling pathway.
