Association of Cognitive Impairment With Evolution of Heart Failure.
Observational study in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundWhile many studies have suggested that heart failure (HF) may lead to cognitive impairment, our understanding about this relationship is limited. This study investigated the association of cognitive function with HF risk factors and how cognitive impairment may impact the development of incident clinical HF in people with subclinical HF.
methodsPeople with either preclinical (at risk and asymptomatic, n=814) or clinical (symptomatic, n=1152) HF were recruited from communities, clinics, and hospitals in 5 Australian states (Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania, and Queensland). Cognitive impairment was measured with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA <26). Left ventricular dysfunction was assessed as global longitudinal strain (<16%). Patients with preclinical HF were followed up for 45±13 months for incident clinical HF or death.
resultsBaseline MOCA was independently associated with age, HF stage, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, chronic lung disease, cerebrovascular disease, global longitudinal strain, left atrial volume index, and left ventricular filling pressure. Cognitive impairment significantly increased the associations of age (interaction
conclusionsCognitive impairment is associated with increased risk of incident clinical HF, independent of cardiac function and other HF risk factors.
