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
backgroundHeart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for nearly half of heart failure cases, with obesity emerging as a key pathophysiologic driver. Oxylipins are lipid signaling molecules linked to adverse HFpEF outcomes, but their relationship with obesity remains unclear.
objectivesTo evaluate association between obesity and arterialized and venous oxylipins in HFpEF patients.
methodsIn this prospective single-center cohort study, 90 patients with HFpEF underwent transthoracic echocardiography and right heart catheterization with arterialized pulmonary capillary and venous blood sampling. Serum oxylipins were quantified via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Oxylipin levels were log-transformed and standardized. Oxylipin associations with obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m²) were evaluated using logistic regression, and pulmonary hypertension (PH) subgroup analyses using a one-sample proportion test.
resultsOf the 90 patients, 61 (67.8%) were obese. Obese patients were younger, more frequently female and African American, had higher prevalence of diabetes (54.1% vs. 17.2%, p < 0.001) and exhibited greater interventricular septal and posterior wall thickness. Multivariable and volcano plot analyses demonstrated inverse associations between obesity and several arterialized oxylipins, including 12,13-DiHOME (OR:0.48; p = 0.03), 19,20-DiHDoPE (OR:0.53; p = 0.03), 11,12-DiHETrE (OR:0.31, p = 0.04), 9,10-DiHOME (OR;0.42; p = 0.02), and 5(S),6(S)-DiHETE (OR:0.51; p = 0.02). In contrast, arterialized 19R-hydroxy-prostaglandin E1 was positively associated with obesity (OR:1.91, p = 0.03). Among venous oxylipins, 15(R)-PGE1 (OR:2.23; p = 0.02) and 19R-hydroxy-prostaglandin E1 (OR:1.91; p = 0.02) showed positive associations with obesity. Obese patients constituted a higher proportion of combined pre- and post-capillary PH subgroup (p = 0.003).
conclusionsObesity in HFpEF is associated with reduced oxylipin diol levels, higher levels of prostaglandin E1 metabolites, and higher burden of pulmonary hypertension.
