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

Aging is a primary driver of the escalating prevalence of heart failure (HF). Age-associated gut microbiota dysbiosis has been implicated in various age-related diseases, yet its role in age-related HF remains largely unexplored. In this study, we sought to explore the potential link between age-related gut microbiota alterations and HF in the elderly. We analyzed a publicly available single-cell sequencing dataset, which revealed markedly increased ferroptosis activity in cardiac myocytes of elderly individuals compared to their younger counterparts. Notably, treatment with the ferroptosis inhibitor, ferrostatin-1, mitigated cardiac ferroptosis and prevented cardiac dysfunction in aging rats. Furthermore, fecal microbiota transplantation from elderly HF patients significantly increased cardiac ferroptosis activity and induced cardiac dysfunction in healthy recipient rats. Integrated 16S rRNA sequencing and PCR quantification revealed a marked depletion of
