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

purposePulmonary hypertension (PH) is a heterogeneous disease with patient-specific variability and vessel-specific remodeling, which eventually lead to right ventricular (RV) failure. The gold standard for RV assessment-pressure-volume (PV) loop acquisition-is invasive and limited to specialized settings. This study aims to develop a patient-specific lumped-parameter model that quantifies vessel-specific remodeling and simulates RV PV loops across PH phenotypes using routine clinical data.

methodsA lumped-parameter model was calibrated using right heart catheterization and echocardiography data. Model agreement was assessed by R

resultsAcross the cohort, the lumped-parameter model showed good agreement with clinical data. Model-derived vessel-specific (pulmonary arterial, capillary, venular) parameters highlighted physiological distinctions among phenotypes. Predicted RV PV loops revealed phenotype-specific differences in right ventricular volumes, pressures, and stroke work. The linear discriminant analysis (LDA) demonstrated qualitative separability, indicating that model-derived, nonmeasurable features offer additional discriminatory information.

conclusionOur results demonstrate that lumped-parameter models can be calibrated to clinical data to quantify vessel-specific remodeling and simulate RV pressure-volume dynamics to provide useful information for distinguishing among different PH phenotypes. This underscores the potential of computational models as noninvasive, clinically feasible tools for assessing in-depth pulmonary vascular and RV function in PH.
