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

Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) is the gold standard for the functional assessment in patients with heart failure (HF), providing objective parameters that reflect the integrated response of the cardiovascular, respiratory, and muscular systems, in addition several CPET-derived variables have shown independent prognostic value in patients with both reduced (HFrEF) and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) HF. This review aims to critically analyze the main CPET prognostic variables in heart failure, highlighting their underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, their predictive capacity for mortality and hospitalizations, and their integration into clinical decision-making models. Parameters such as peak oxygen uptake (VO
