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) encompasses a group of conditions characterized by elevated pulmonary arterial pressure, with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) representing a distinct and severe subset. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current classification system, highlighting the five clinical groups of PH and the specific hemodynamic criteria defining PAH. We discuss the complex pathophysiological mechanisms underlying PAH, including vascular remodeling, endothelial dysfunction, and genetic predisposition. Advances in diagnostic approaches are explored. Current treatment strategies targeting key molecular pathways such as endothelin, nitric oxide, and prostacyclin are reviewed alongside novel and investigational therapies. Prognostic indicators and risk stratification tools are evaluated to guide clinical management. Finally, we underscore the critical role of expert centers in accurate diagnosis, multidisciplinary care, and enrollment in clinical trials, which collectively improve patient outcomes in this challenging disease spectrum.
