Alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor: targeting the interplay between inflammation, renin-angiotensin aldosterone system, and nervous system for the novel treatment of heart failure.
Review in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The incidence and prevalence of heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) continue to rise, yet evidence-based therapy remains limited. Due to the complexity of HFpEF pathology, traditional HF medication has shown inconsistent efficacy in improving clinical outcomes and reducing morbidity. Therefore, highlighting the urgent need for novel interventions. The αlpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) is a central mediator of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway and has emerged as a promising therapeutic target in various conditions, such as sepsis, arthritis, metabolic dysfunction, and atherosclerosis. This review aims to examine the emerging therapeutic potential of α7nAChR in HF and HFpEF pathology, focusing on its protective role in modulating the complex interplay between systemic and cardiovascular inflammation, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system activation, neurocardiac signaling and metabolic dysfunction.
