Femoral venous stasis index predicts elevated right atrial pressure and mortality in pulmonary hypertension.
Article in ERJ open research, 2025. 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
Background: Elevated right atrial pressure (RAP) is associated with poor prognosis regarding 1-year mortality in pulmonary hypertension (PH) patients. Unfortunately, there is currently no reliable non-invasive technique for estimating RAP in PH patients. Recently, femoral venous stasis index (FVSI) has been described as highly correlated with RAP in PH patients. Our main goal was to confirm the diagnostic accuracy of FVSI for estimating RAP. Methods: In this prospective study, we included 101 patients with suspected or known PH undergoing right heart catheterisation for 18 months. Results: FVSI was highly correlated with RAP (r Conclusion: We propose FVSI as a rapid, simple, non-invasive tool for estimating RAP and which may be of additional prognostic interest in terms of PH-related morbi-mortality.
