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

Introduction: Currently, risk stratification is the cornerstone of determining treatment strategy for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Since the 2015 European Society of Cardiology/European Respiratory Society (ESC/ERS) guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary hypertension recommended risk assessment, the number of studies reporting risk stratification has considerably increased. This systematic review aims to report and compare the variables and prognostic value of the various risk stratification models for outcome prediction in adult and pediatric PAH. Methods: A systematic search with terms related to PAH, pediatric pulmonary hypertension, and risk stratification was performed through databases PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science up to June 8, 2022. Observational studies and clinical trials on risk stratification in adult and pediatric PAH were included, excluding case reports/series, guidelines, and reviews. Risk of bias was assessed using the Prediction model Risk Of Bias Assessment Tool. Data on the variables used in the models and the predictive strength of the models given by c-statistic were extracted from eligible studies. Results: A total of 74 studies were eligible for inclusion, with this review focusing on model development ( Conclusion: Studies reporting risk stratification in pediatric PAH are scarce. This systematic review provides an overview of current data on risk stratification models and its value for guiding treatment strategies in PAH.
