The role of immune cells in the pathogenesis of connective tissue diseases-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Connective tissue diseases-related pulmonary arterial hypertension (CTD-PAH) is a disease characterized by an elevated pulmonary artery pressure that arises as a complication of connective tissue diseases. The number of patients with CTD-PAH accounts for 25.3% of all PAH patients. The main pathological features of CTD-PAH are thickening of intima, media and adventitia of pulmonary arterioles, increased pulmonary vascular resistance, autoimmune activation and inflammatory reaction. It is worth noting that abnormal immune activation will produce autoantibodies and release cytokines, and abnormal immune cell recruitment will promote inflammatory environment and vascular remodeling. Therefore, almost all forms of connective tissue diseases are related to PAH. In addition to general therapy and targeted drug therapy for PAH, high-dose glucocorticoid combined with immunosuppressant can quickly alleviate and stabilize the basic CTD-PAH disease. Given this, the development of therapeutic approaches targeting immune dysregulation and heightened inflammation is recognized as a promising strategy to prevent or reverse the progression of CTD-PAH. This review explores the potential mechanisms by which immune cells contribute to the development of CTD-PAH and examines the clinical application of immunosuppressive therapies in managing CTD-PAH.
