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

backgroundPulmonary hypertension (PH) is a frequent complication in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD); its occurrence results in significant morbidity and mortality. Currently approved treatment options for PH-ILD include inhaled prostacyclin therapy, although this approach may be insufficient in patients who have developed simultaneous right ventricular failure. Moreover, there is no available treatment algorithm regarding the optimal therapy and timing of lung transplant referral for PH-ILD patients based on disease severity. DESIGN/

methodsIn this study, we created such a tool to guide PH-specific therapy in PH-ILD patients, especially as further treatment strategies are developed. We developed a 4-point PH-ILD Severity score that integrated both subjective and objective information (WHO FC, CI, TAPSE, PVR) from retrospective analysis of 57 PH-ILD patients.

resultsA score of 3 or greater in the PH-ILD Severity score yielded an AUC of 0.831 (

conclusionsFurther confirmation and evolution of this PH-ILD Severity score will assist in the development of optimal treatment plans in ILD patients diagnosed with concomitant PH.
