Comparing Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Care in Urban and Rural Settings:
Article in Pulmonary circulation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) significantly impacts mortality and quality of life. Access to specialized care may differ between urban and rural patients, potentially influencing outcomes. This study compared the clinical course and treatment patterns of PAH patients from urban and rural settings treated at a single comprehensive care center. Adult patients with WHO Group I PAH evaluated between August 2020 and August 2024 at the University of Utah Pulmonary Hypertension Comprehensive Care Center were prospectively enrolled in a program-specific registry. A total of 263 patients were categorized as urban or rural based on residential address. Baseline characteristics, diagnostics, treatments, and outcomes were compared. No significant differences were observed in baseline characteristics, 6-min walk distance (6MWD), right ventricular function, hemodynamics, or NT-proBNP levels. In-person and virtual clinic utilization were also similar. However, among patients receiving triple therapy, rural patients were significantly more likely to receive inhaled treprostinil as the prostacyclin component (
