Definition, classification and diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension.
Article 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 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 247 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a haemodynamic condition characterised by elevation of mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) >20 mmHg, assessed by right heart catheterisation. Pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (PAWP) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) distinguish pre-capillary PH (PAWP ≤15 mmHg, PVR >2 Wood Units (WU)), isolated post-capillary PH (PAWP >15 mmHg, PVR ≤2 WU) and combined post- and pre-capillary PH (PAWP >15 mmHg, PVR >2 WU). Exercise PH is a haemodynamic condition describing a normal mPAP at rest with an abnormal increase of mPAP during exercise, defined as a mPAP/cardiac output slope >3 mmHg/L/min between rest and exercise. The core structure of the clinical classification of PH has been retained, including the five major groups. However, some changes are presented herewith, such as the re-introduction of "long-term responders to calcium channel blockers" as a subgroup of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension, the addition of subgroups in group 2 PH and the differentiation of group 3 PH subgroups based on pulmonary diseases instead of functional abnormalities. Mitomycin-C and carfilzomib have been added to the list of drugs with "definite association" with PAH. For diagnosis of PH, we propose a stepwise approach with the main aim of discerning those patients who need to be referred to a PH centre and who should undergo invasive haemodynamic assessment. In case of high probability of severe pulmonary vascular disease, especially if there are signs of right heart failure, a fast-track referral to a PH centre is recommended at any point during the clinical workup.
