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

Background: Heart failure (HF) with preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFpEF or HFmrEF) is often associated with obesity and metabolic dysfunction. Recent data suggest that incretin-based therapies, including glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and tirzepatide improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients with HFpEF or HFmrEF both with and without diabetes. However, whether the effects differ by diabetes status across the broader literature remains unclear. Methods: MEDLINE and Embase were searched through October 2025 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs), post-hoc RCT analyses, and observational studies evaluating GLP-1RAs and tirzepatide effects on cardiovascular outcomes in patients with HFpEF or HFmrEF. Meta-regression examined effect modification by type 2 diabetes (T2D) status. Exploratory network meta-analysis of RCTs was performed to evaluate comparative efficacy across therapies. Results: Eleven studies met the inclusion criteria. In a meta-regression of RCTs, all Conclusions: Incretin-based therapies with GLP-1RA activity reduce HF hospitalization and events in patients with HFpEF or HFmrEF, with comparable benefits irrespective of T2D status. These findings support cardiovascular benefits of incretin-based therapies beyond glucose lowering and reinforce their role in obesity-associated HFpEF and HFmrEF.
