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

Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) selectively hydrolyzes cyclic guanosine monophosphate. Inhibitors of PDE5 were originally developed to treat angina pectoris, and currently have multiple therapeutic indications, including erectile dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension. Several lines of research have provided evidence to support various potential PDE5-dependent cellular mechanisms in the myocardium that are involved in the pathophysiology of heart failure and cardiac dysfunction. In this Review we provide a mechanistic overview of the pharmacological inhibition of PDE5 in the context of heart failure, and evaluate the evidence supporting the use of novel PDE5 inhibitors in the treatment of this condition.
