Review in The European respiratory journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07272798 (Cardiac Self-Efficacy in Patients With Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension), which is not on this map. Cited by 45 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is a complication of pulmonary embolism and a treatable cause of pulmonary hypertension. The pathology is a unique combination of mechanical obstruction due to failure of clot resolution, and a variable degree of microvascular disease, that both contribute to pulmonary vascular resistance. Accordingly, multiple treatments have been developed to target the disease components. However, accurate diagnosis is often delayed. Evaluation includes high-quality imaging modalities, necessary for disease confirmation and for appropriate treatment planning. All patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease, and especially those with pulmonary hypertension, should be referred to expert centres for multidisciplinary team decision on treatment. The first decision remains assessment of operability, and the best improvement in symptoms and survival is achieved by the mechanical therapies, pulmonary endarterectomy and balloon pulmonary angioplasty. With the advances in multimodal therapies, excellent outcomes can be achieved with 3-year survival of >90%.
