Sotatercept: The First FDA-Approved Activin A Receptor IIA Inhibitor Used in the Management of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.
Review in American journal of cardiovascular drugs : drugs, devices, and other interventions, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This report illustrates the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of first-in-its-class activin A receptor IIA inhibitor, sotatercept (Winrevair™), for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Sotatercept is used to increase exercise capacity, improve WHO functional class, and decrease the risk of clinical worsening events in adults with PAH. One phase 2 trial, one phase 3 trial, and an ongoing open-label extension study is described in detail within the current text. Sotatercept significantly improved the 6-min walk distance in patients with PAH after 24 weeks with a mean change increase of 40.1 meters in the experimental group versus 1.4 meters decrease in the placebo group. Epistaxis, telangiectasia, increased hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell levels, and dizziness were adverse events more frequently observed in the sotatercept group than in the placebo group. Sotatercept has shown significant benefits in the reduction of pulmonary vascular resistance and N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide in patients with PAH. However, more studies are needed to evaluate the reduction in mortality. Limitations in practice include high cost and unknown long-term effects.
