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

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) can develop from multiple etiologic mechanisms and disease states. Of all such conditions, left-sided heart disease (LHD) is commonly understood to be the most common etiology or mechanism. Given the widespread prevalence of left heart disease and the prognostic implications of PH, early diagnosis is imperative. More recently, the diagnostic cut-offs for mean pulmonary arterial pressure as well as peripheral vascular resistance have been lowered to achieve this objective. Despite these revised standards, the current indications for right heart catheterization are mostly aimed at identifying advanced disease. Proven vasodilator therapies for pulmonary arterial hypertension have so far not shown a meaningful role in the management of PH in LHD. This is largely related to the fact that multiple mechanisms and co-morbidities can independently lead to the development of PH in an individual patient. Understanding and identifying those phenotypes remain important in devising future treatment strategies. Molecular pathways that eventually lead to irreversibility of PH can provide another frontier in the pharmacologic management of PH in LHD.
