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

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is more prevalent in women, whereas heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) predominates in men. Despite these well-established epidemiological differences, sex-specific alterations in vascular function in heart failure (HF) remain poorly characterised. This systematic review, using a narrative synthesis approach, evaluated sex-related differences in vascular function in individuals with HF. The review was prospectively registered with PROSPERO (CRD42024617745). MEDLINE and CINAHL were searched from inception to 26th November 2024 for studies reporting sex-stratified measures of arterial stiffness among individuals with HF. Nine studies met the eligibility criteria for inclusion (
