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

Selection of therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) requires tradeoffs among disease severity, therapeutic benefit, adverse effects, treatment burden, quality of life, and patient values. Although professional societies endorse shared decision-making (SDM) in this context, empirical data describing SDM in PAH are limited. We conducted a survey to characterize SDM during PAH treatment selection from both patient and clinician perspectives. Using the Ottawa Decision-Making Framework, we administered parallel surveys to patients and clinicians at the Pulmonary Hypertension Association's 2022 International PH Conference (Atlanta, GA). Survey items assessed decisional characteristics including role preference, confidence, self-efficacy, decisional support and the factors considered most important during PAH therapy selection. Surveys were administered electronically and analyses were performed using Python. A total of 89 participants (51 patients, 38 clinicians) completed the survey. Preference for SDM was nearly universal among patients (96%) and clinicians (95%). However, priorities differed significantly. Patients more frequently emphasized quality of life (81% vs. 54%) and efficacy of therapy (42% vs. 29%), whereas clinicians prioritized risk of disease progression (67% vs. 30%; all
