Outpatient Point-of-Care Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Disease: A Single-Center Experience.
Article in JACC. Advances, 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
backgroundPulmonary vascular obstruction causes dyspnea in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease (CTEPD) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Conventional assessments, like 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and World Health Organization (WHO) functional class (WHO-FC), poorly discriminate the mechanism of dyspnea. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) offers direct evaluation of ventilatory efficiency and gas-exchange abnormalities.
objectivesThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) and pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) on CPET-derived gas-exchange parameters.
methodsIn this prospective study, patients with CTEPD or CTEPH evaluated by a multidisciplinary team underwent outpatient point-of-care CPET (SHAPE-HF system) before and after BPA/PTE. The primary endpoint was change in ventilatory efficiency, assessed by the V
resultsSixty patients were evaluated; 8 served as controls, and 52 underwent revascularization (20 PTE and 32 BPA). The V
conclusionsPoint-of-care CPET provides objective assessment of gas-exchange improvements after pulmonary revascularization in mild-to-moderate CTEPH/CTEPD.
