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

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has rapidly become the leading cause of chronic liver disease and cirrhosis worldwide, driven by the global surge in metabolic disorders such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. In parallel, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has surpassed heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) as the predominant form of heart failure, particularly in individuals with metabolic comorbidities. Mounting evidence points to a significant overlap in the pathophysiological underpinnings of MASLD and HFpEF, with metabolic dysfunction serving as a common foundation. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the mechanistic links between MASLD and HFpEF, examining metabolic, inflammatory, and fibrotic pathways. We also explore the clinical implications of this association, including diagnostic considerations and therapeutic targets. Shared risk factors and inflammatory pathways have highlighted a strong bidirectional association between MASLD and cardiovascular diseases, particularly HFpEF. Significantly, the degree of hepatic fibrosis in MASLD correlates with HFpEF prognosis and severity, emphasizing the systemic nature of these conditions. Emerging pharmacological and lifestyle-based interventions aimed at managing both conditions underscore the importance of integrated, multidisciplinary care in improving long-term outcomes.
