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

Despite improved understanding of the pathobiology of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), it remains a severe and progressive disease, usually culminating in right heart failure, significant morbidity and early mortality. Over the last decade, some major advances have led to substantial improvements in the management of PAH. Much of this progress was pioneered by work in animal models. Although none of the current animal models of pulmonary hypertension (PH) completely recapitulate the human disease, they do provide insight into the cellular pathways contributing to its development and progression. There is hope that future work in model organisms will help to define its underlying cause(s), identify risk factors and lead to better treatment of the currently irreversible damage that results in the lungs of afflicted patients. However, the difficulty in defining the etiology of idiopathic PAH (IPAH, previously known as primary pulmonary hypertension) makes this subset of the disease particularly difficult to model. Although there are some valuable existing models that are relevant for IPAH research, the area would value from the development of new models that more closely mimic the clinical pathophysiology of IPAH.
