Long-term hemodynamic responses and reverse remodeling after pharmacotherapy in HFpEF versus HFrEF: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in American journal of physiology. Heart and circulatory physiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
The acute response to therapeutic afterload reduction differs between heart failure with preserved (HFpEF) versus reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), with larger left ventricular (LV) stroke work augmentation in HFrEF compared with HFpEF. This may (partially) explain the neutral effect of HFrEF-medication in HFpEF. It is unclear whether such differences in hemodynamic response persist and/or differentially trigger reverse remodeling in the case of long-term afterload reduction. A systematic search was performed, identifying 21 clinical trials investigating renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors, β-blockers, and sodium-glucose cotransport 2 inhibitors that report data on afterload reduction, stroke volume, and reverse remodeling in HFpEF and/or HFrEF. In both HFpEF and HFrEF, meta-analyses revealed limited long-term change in systolic/diastolic blood pressure (-5.6/-3.2 and -4.6/-1.4 mmHg, respectively) and LV afterload reduction (arterial elastance: -0.039 and -0.055 mmHg/mL, respectively). Long-term treatment did not result in an increase in stroke volume, with the exception of β-blockers in HFrEF. Indexed LV mass decreased slightly in both HFpEF and HFrEF (-2.8 and -2.3 g/m
