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

The right ventricle and its stress response is perhaps the most important arbiter of survival in patients with pulmonary hypertension of many causes. The physiology of the cardiopulmonary unit and definition of right heart failure proposed in the 2018 World Symposium on Pulmonary Hypertension have proven useful constructs in subsequent years. Here, we review updated knowledge of basic mechanisms that drive right ventricular function in health and disease, and which may be useful for therapeutic intervention in the future. We further contextualise new knowledge on assessment of right ventricular function with a focus on metrics readily available to clinicians and updated understanding of the roles of the right atrium and tricuspid regurgitation. Typical right ventricular phenotypes in relevant forms of pulmonary vascular disease are reviewed and recent studies of pharmacological interventions on chronic right ventricular failure are discussed. Finally, unanswered questions and future directions are proposed.
