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

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc). Although there are screening tests for PAH, such as carbon monoxide diffusing capacity and Doppler echocardiography, these tests are far from perfect, patients are still identified late in the course of disease, and the underlying mechanisms of SSc-associated PAH are poorly understood. Understanding the genetic differences between those patients with SSc who do and do not develop PAH may improve our ability to identify and treat patients earlier in the course of disease. To date, only a few candidate gene association studies and one gene expression analysis have investigated the genetics of PAH in SSc. These studies highlight the important opportunities and challenges for exploration of genetics of complex traits. By appreciating the optimal conduct of genetic studies, along with the role of bioinformatics resources such as the International HapMap database, investigators and clinicians will be better equipped to understand the genetics of SSc-associated PAH.
