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

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a hereditary vascular disease with multiple arterial venous malformations. Pulmonary arterial hypertension is occasionally associated with HHT; however, there is no evidence of targeted therapy for this subgroup of patients. This report describes a 37-year-old woman who presented with dyspnea on exertion. She was finally diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with HHT (HHT2, MIM 600376), and had multiple arterial venous malformations in the lung, liver and pancreas. An oral dual endothelin receptor (ET(A)/ET(B)) antagonist, bosentan, was prescribed, and her symptoms, exercise capacity and laboratory findings improved greatly after treatment. Pulmonary arterial pressure also decreased. Endothelin receptor antagonist is a possible treatment option for pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with HHT.
