Proteome organ aging and cardiometabolic risk in a population at risk for heart failure.
Article in Cardiovascular diabetology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundBiological aging varies across individuals and tissues, influencing chronic diseases, including heart failure (HF). Emerging proteome techniques enable quantification of organ-specific aging acceleration (OAA), but whether OAA relates to HF severity and differs by sex remains unclear. We aim to assess the sex-related association between OAA of heart, artery and kidneys and HF severity, and to investigate relevant cardiometabolic risk factors of organ aging.
methodsIn 556 participants from the HELPFul cohort, we estimated predicted biological age for heart, artery, and kidneys using plasma proteomics and calculated OAA as the deviation from chronological age. Associations between OAA and HF stage, echocardiographic parameters, and cardiometabolic risk factors were evaluated using regression models. Composite indices, including triglyceride-glucose body mass index (TyG-BMI), c-reactive protein-triglyceride glucose index and triglyceride-to-HDL cholesterol ratio were assessed for associations with advanced OAA.
resultsMean age was 63 ± 9 years; 65% were women. Patients were classified as HF stage A (35%), B (29%) and C/D (36%). Heart OAA was significantly associated with advanced HF (Stage C/D) in both sexes (OR = 1.12, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.23 in women; OR = 1.18, 95% CI 1.05 to 1.32 in men), while artery OAA was linked to HF only in women (OR = 1.10, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.18). Multi-organ aging (≥ 2 organs with advanced OAA) conferred over three-fold higher odds of being in Stage C/D. Heart OAA correlated with impaired cardiac structure and function, particularly reduced ejection fraction in men and increased left ventricular mass index in both sexes. Diabetes emerged as the most relevant factor of artery and kidney OAA. TyG-BMI was significantly associated with advanced kidney OAA, only in women (z-scored OR = 1.88, 95% CI 1.45 to 2.45).
conclusionsProteome-derived organ aging correlates with HF severity, with possible sex-related patterns. Diabetes and higher TyG-BMI are associated with faster organ aging, which may reflect shared aging mechanisms between metabolic dysfunction and HF.
