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

In systemic sclerosis (SSc) mortality is mainly linked to lung involvement which is characterized by interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH). In SSc, PH may be due to different etiologies, including ILD, chronic thromboembolic disease, pulmonary veno-occlusive disease, and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The main tool to screen PAH is transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), which has a sensitivity of 90%, even if definitive diagnosis should be confirmed by right heart catheterization (RHC). The radiological evaluation (i.e., HRTC) plays an important role in defining the possible causes and in monitoring the evolution of lung damage. For PAH, identifying individuals who have borderline elevation of pulmonary arterial pressure needs to be appropriately managed and followed. In the past few years, the strategy for the management of PAH has significantly evolved and new trials are underway to test other therapies. This review provides an overview of the tools to evaluate PAH in SSc patients and on treatment options for these patients.
