Prognostic role of pulmonary impedance estimation to predict right ventricular dysfunction in pulmonary hypertension.
Article in ESC heart failure, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
backgroundThe effect of pulmonary hypertension (PH) on right ventricular (RV) afterload is commonly defined by elevation of pulmonary artery (PA) pressure or pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). In humans however, one-third to half of the hydraulic power in the PA is contained in pulsatile components of flow. Pulmonary impedance (Zc) expresses opposition of the PA to pulsatile blood flow. We evaluate pulmonary Zc relationships according to PH classification using a cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)/right heart catheterization (RHC) method.
methodsProspective study of 70 clinically indicated patients referred for same-day CMR and RHC [60 ± 16 years; 77% females, 16 mPAP <25 mmHg (PVR <240 dynes.s.cm
resultsBaseline demographic characteristics were well matched. There was a significant difference in mPAP (P < 0.001), PVR (P = 0.001), and pulmonary Zc between mPAP<25 mmHg patients and those with PH (mPAP <25 mmHg: 47 ± 19 dynes.s.cm
conclusionsRaised pulmonary Zc was independent of elevated mPAP in patients with PH and more strongly predictive of maladaptive RV remodelling than PVR and mPAP. Use of this straightforward method to determine pulmonary Zc may help to better characterize pulsatile components of RV afterload in patients with PH than mPAP or PVR alone.
