GLP-1 Receptor Agonists in the Rehabilitation of Patients with Heart Failure: Mechanisms, Clinical Evidence, and Future Perspectives.
Review in Nutrients, 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
Heart failure (HF) remains associated with high morbidity and mortality, with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) becoming increasingly prevalent and therapeutically challenging despite advances in pharmacological and rehabilitative care. Beyond their glucose-lowering effects, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) confer cardiometabolic benefits and may serve as effective adjuncts to cardiac rehabilitation (CR), particularly in obese patients with HFpEF. Obesity plays a central role in the pathophysiology of HFpEF, and GLP-1RAs promote weight loss, reduce insulin resistance and leptin signaling, and improve hemodynamic and metabolic abnormalities associated with HFpEF. Accumulating evidence suggests that the benefits of GLP-1RAs are phenotype-specific and more pronounced in patients with HFpEF than in patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction. Current clinical guidelines recommend GLP-1RAs for patients who have type 2 diabetes mellitus and established cardiovascular (CV) disease or are at high CV risk, with recent updates recognizing their potential benefits in patients with HFpEF and obesity. Cardiac rehabilitation, delivered through multidisciplinary programs, remains a cornerstone of HF management. Although caloric restriction and aerobic exercise can be beneficial in patients with HFpEF and obesity, these interventions alone are often insufficient. Sarcopenia is common in older patients with HFpEF and contributes to adverse outcomes, underscoring the importance of incorporating resistance training into CR programs. The most frequent adverse effects of GLP-1RAs are gastrointestinal events, which are generally mild to moderate but may lead to treatment discontinuation in some patients. Future studies should investigate the potential synergistic effects of GLP-1RAs and CR, clarify their long-term safety and efficacy in HF populations, and define their role beyond obese HFpEF phenotypes.
