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

The heart and brain maintain systemic homeostasis through continuous bidirectional communication mediated by neural regulation, biochemical signaling, and mechanical transduction. Disruption of this communication is increasingly recognized as a contributor to cardiovascular, neurological, cognitive, and psychological disorders. Growing evidence indicates that autonomic imbalance, neuroimmune activation, hemodynamic disturbances, inflammation, altered interoception, and brain network remodeling can mediate cross-organ injury between the heart and brain. These mechanisms underlie a spectrum of heart-brain comorbidities, but their shared pathways, disease-specific manifestations, and integrated management strategies remain insufficiently understood. In this review, we summarize the physiological basis of heart-brain interactions, focusing on neural, biochemical, and mechanical pathways. We then discuss six representative disorders: Takotsubo syndrome, epileptic heart, stroke-heart syndrome, heart failure, cardiac dementia, and psychocardiology. For each condition, we highlight key epidemiological features, pathophysiological mechanisms, and integrated heart-brain management strategies. We also review clinical trials targeting heart-brain interactions, including autonomic modulation, biomarker monitoring, neuroimaging assessment, exercise therapy, psychological intervention, and pharmacological therapy. By integrating basic mechanisms, clinical phenotypes, and translational advances, this review provides a systematic framework for understanding heart-brain comorbidities and advancing precision heart-brain medicine.
