Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension: A Systematic Approach.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 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
backgroundPediatric pulmonary hypertension comprises a variety of etiologies across different age groups, requiring a systematic approach to diagnosis in children. CASE SUMMARY: A 7-year-old boy with nonverbal autism, oral aversion, and resolved muscular ventricular septal defect presented with heart failure and was found to have severe pulmonary hypertension. The initial diagnosis and treatment course was altered after a misleading cause, and he was ultimately found to have undetectable vitamin C levels. After repletion, he was weaned off pulmonary hypertension therapy and received nutritional supplementation via a gastrotomy tube. DISCUSSION: Chronic vitamin C deficiency can lead to pulmonary hypertension, and pediatric patients with neurodevelopmental disorders are at a higher risk of developing nutritional deficiencies. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: This case emphasizes the importance of having a broad differential for pulmonary hypertension, with a systematic approach to thinking beyond congenital heart disease-related, autoimmune-related, and idiopathic pulmonary hypertension in children.
