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

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) attributable to left heart disease (LHD) is believed to be the most common form of PH and is strongly associated with increased mortality and morbidity in this patient population. Specific therapies for PH-LHD have not yet been identified and the use of pulmonary artery hypertension-targeted therapies in PH-LHD are not recommended. Endothelin receptor antagonists, phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors, guanylate cyclase stimulators, and prostacyclins have all been studied in PH-LHD with conflicting results. Understanding the mechanisms underlying PH-LHD could potentially provide novel therapeutic targets. Fibrosis, oxidative stress, and metabolic syndrome have been proposed as pathophysiological components of PH-LHD. Genetic associations have also been identified, offering additional mechanisms with biological plausibility. This review summarizes the evidence and challenges for treatment of PH-LHD and focuses on underlying mechanisms on the horizon that could develop into potential therapeutic targets for this disease.
