Metrics of left ventricular active relaxation reflect proteomic myocardial remodelling and reverse remodelling.
Article in ESC heart failure, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
introductionPressure overload (PO) induces adverse myocardial remodelling, whereas efficient pressure unloading interventions can promote reverse remodelling at structural and molecular levels. This study seeks to identify a metric of left ventricular (LV) performance that reflects the degree of myocardial remodelling and reverse remodelling.
methodsMale and female rats underwent surgical aortic constriction/banding (AB) to generate PO and subsequent debanding (DB) to induce pressure unloading. The architecture and function of the left ventricle were evaluated using echocardiography and pressure-volume analysis. Exploratory proteome profiling via LC-MS/MS on left ventricular samples was followed by Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator-based feature selection on existing data to determine LV parameters linked to myocardial proteomic changes.
resultsTau (τ), the time constant of LV isovolumic pressure decay and an index of active relaxation, and LV mass showed the strongest associations with proteome-wide abundance changes. With 842 associated proteins and 154 overrepresented gene ontology terms, Tau demonstrated a strong correlation with LV proteomic changes during myocardial remodelling, and reverse remodelling. Nineteen Tau-associated proteins had an AUC > 0.85 when discriminating remodelled proteomes of AB rats from non-banded counterparts. Network analysis reveals varied protein-protein correlations across circumstances and indicates transcription factors regulating Tau-associated proteome changes. Across sham (Co), 6- and 12-week banding (AB6/AB12), and debanding after 6 weeks followed by 6 weeks unloading (DB), τ showed the largest set of associated proteins (n = 842) and enriched processes.
conclusionLeft ventricular active relaxation, quantified by Tau, most comprehensively reflects myocardial proteomic remodelling during pressure overload and unloading. Indices of diastolic relaxation may therefore represent integrative functional readouts of molecular remodelling and potential translational markers of reverse remodelling.
