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 with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) represents a growing global public health challenge, now accounting for approximately half of all heart failure cases and often linked to a systemic pathophysiological process in older adults with multiple comorbidities. Despite increasing recognition of the vascular contributions to HFpEF, the precise molecular mechanisms, particularly the role of noncoding Ribonucleic Acids (ncRNAs) in mediating vascular aging and subsequent cardiac dysfunction, remain incompletely understood. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanistic link between vascular aging and HFpEF, with a specific focus on the pivotal roles of ncRNAs in this complex interplay. We delineate the classification of vascular aging, its cellular hallmarks, including endothelial senescence, vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic switching, and extracellular matrix remodeling, and its systemic implications, such as inflammaging, oxidative stress, and reduced nitric oxide bioavailability. We then detail how these vascular alterations, including increased ventricular afterload and impaired myocardial perfusion due to coronary microvascular dysfunction, contribute to HFpEF pathophysiology. The review extensively discusses recent findings on how diverse classes of ncRNAs, notably microRNAs, long noncoding RNAs, and circular RNAs, along with emerging evidence for PIWI-interacting RNAs, small nuclear RNAs, small nucleolar RNAs, and tRNA-derived small RNAs, regulate these vascular aging processes and serve as molecular bridges connecting vascular dysfunction to heart failure. In conclusion, understanding the regulatory landscape of ncRNAs in vascular aging may reveal novel biomarkers and therapeutic avenues, offering new strategies for precision medicine in HFpEF.
