Perioperative Use of Pulmonary Artery Catheter in a Patient With Severe Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension Undergoing Major Gynecological Surgery: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 hypertension (PH) is associated with substantial perioperative risk in noncardiac surgery. In chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), persistent elevation of pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) imposes considerable mechanical load on the right ventricle (RV), limiting its ability to tolerate acute physiologic changes. We report the successful management of a 52-year-old woman with severe CTEPH undergoing total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Comprehensive preoperative assessment, meticulous intraoperative management, and continuous hemodynamic monitoring with a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) enabled tight control of pulmonary pressures without vasopressor support. Under low-dose glyceryl trinitrate infusion and PAC-guided titration of therapy, her mean pulmonary artery pressures (mPAP) remained stable throughout surgery and the early postoperative period. She experienced an uneventful recovery and was discharged home on postoperative day eight. This case underscores the critical role of meticulously tailored anesthetic management and advanced monitoring (PAC) in ensuring optimal outcomes for patients with severe PH undergoing noncardiac surgery.
