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

To diagnose pulmonary hypertension (PH) and assess its severity, accurate measurement of pulmonary artery (PA) pressure is crucial. However, there can be significant discrepancies between echocardiography (Echo) and invasive catheterization. The right ventricle (RV) has a complex structure, and its remodeling in PH is diverse, making it challenging to evaluate RV physiology with a single imaging modality. While right heart catheterization is the gold standard, its practicality in clinical settings is limited. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is valuable for RV evaluation, with 4-dimensional flow MRI showing promise, yet accessibility remains a concern. Thus, in PH patient management, Echo plays a central role as a practical decision-making tool. This review aims to elucidate Echo parameters in PH patients, highlighting differences in PA systolic pressure measurements, RV-PA coupling, RV remodeling patterns crucial for understanding PH progression, and clinical evidence regarding RV strain. Additionally, it aims to introduce new Echo parameters that help understand RV in PH.
