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
backgroundCor pulmonale is common in plateau areas due to chronic hypoxia and pulmonary vascular remodeling. Yet, its mortality and related factors there are under researched. We aim to explore the mortality and related factors in patients with cor pulmonale at high altitudes.
methodsThis study is a multicenter follow-up study that included all patients with cor pulmonale from four hospitals in Qinghai Province from 2012 to 2022. Under gender stratification, the characteristics of patients with cor pulmonale were described based on survival status. A line chart was further drawn to depict the changing trend of the case fatality rate of patients with pulmonary heart disease with age. The dose-response relationship between the altitude of the patient's residence and death was plotted using restricted cubic splines and presented based on ethnic stratification. Logistic regression was further used to explore the factors that affect the death of patients with cor pulmonale.
resultsThe results showed that among 33,844 patients, a total of 1,451 died in the hospital, with a crude mortality rate of 4.3%. In the entire population and the Han subgroup, mortality risk initially rose with increasing altitude, then decreased, and rose again. In addition, age (odds ratio [OR]: 1.456, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.376-1.540), females (OR: 0.683, 95% CI: 0.609-0.764), residential altitude (OR
conclusionThe mortality risk of cor pulmonale patients in high-altitude areas is closely related to altitude, and it is necessary to strengthen the control of poor prognosis in Han, elderly, high-altitude residents, and male pulmonary heart disease patients.
