The Relationship Between Myocardial Fibrosis in Hypertensive Patients With Preserved Ejection Fraction and the Severity of Systemic Inflammatory Status Is Mediated by Epicardial Adipose Tissue: A Multicenter Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This study aims to investigate the impact of exacerbated systemic inflammatory status on the degree of myocardial fibrosis and strain impairment in hypertensive patients with preserved ejection fraction, as well as the role played by epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) in this process. A total of 236 hypertensive patients who underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and blood routine examinations at two medical centers in China were included. Thirty healthy volunteers were included as the control group. Compared with the low systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) group, patients in the high SIRI group exhibited greater EAT volume, higher Native T1 value, and increased extracellular volume (ECV) (all p < 0.01). Additionally, significant differences were observed between the two groups in cardiac MRI parameters (all p < 0.001). Hypertensive patients had a significantly higher SIRI than healthy controls (p < 0.001). Binary logistic regression analysis indicated that SIRI and indexed EAT volume were independently associated with high ECV value (SIRI: p < 0.001; indexed EAT volume: p < 0.001), with results remaining stable after adjusting for confounding factors. Furthermore, mediation analysis showed that even after adjusting for confounding factors, EAT continued to play a role in SIRI-mediated changes in ECV (indirect effect: 0.1773 [95% CI 0.0173-0.3147]). HTN may contribute to the increase in systemic inflammatory severity. The relationship between the degree of myocardial fibrosis and the severity of systemic inflammatory status in patients with early HTN is mediated by EAT. Early mitigation of systemic inflammatory status in patients with early-stage HTN can reduce the adverse effects of EAT, thereby alleviating myocardial fibrosis and strain impairment.
