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 (HF) is a prominent fatal cardiovascular disorder afflicting 3.4% of the adult population despite the advancement of treatment options. Therefore, a better understanding of the pathogenesis of HF is essential for exploring novel therapeutic strategies. Hypertrophy and fibrosis are significant characteristics of pathological cardiac remodeling, contributing to HF. The mechanisms involved in the development of cardiac remodeling and consequent HF are multifactorial, and in this review, the key underlying mechanisms are discussed. These have been divided into the following categories thusly: (i) mitochondrial dysfunction, including defective dynamics, energy production, and oxidative stress; (ii) cardiac lipotoxicity; (iii) maladaptive endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress; (iv) impaired autophagy; (v) cardiac inflammatory responses; (vi) programmed cell death, including apoptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis; (vii) endothelial dysfunction; and (viii) defective cardiac contractility. Preclinical data suggest that there is merit in targeting the identified pathways; however, their clinical implications and outcomes regarding treating HF need further investigation in the future. Herein, we introduce the molecular mechanisms pivotal in the onset and progression of HF, as well as compounds targeting the related mechanisms and their therapeutic potential in preventing or rescuing HF. This, therefore, offers an avenue for the design and discovery of novel therapies for the treatment of HF.
