Do weight loss interventions challenge the obesity paradox in heart failure?
Article in Trends in endocrinology and metabolism: TEM, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a significant global health concern, with obesity recognized as a prominent risk factor. The 'obesity paradox' (OP) suggests that obesity does not always lead to adverse outcomes, particularly in heart failure (HF). In this forum, we discuss the relevance of the OP in the current therapeutic landscape for cardiometabolic diseases.
