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

Substantial experimental evidence suggests the usefulness of antioxidants for the treatment of various forms of pulmonary hypertension. However, no recommendations have yet been made if patients with pulmonary hypertension should receive pharmacologic and/or dietary antioxidants. Our understanding of antioxidants has evolved greatly over the last two decades, from the primitive use of natural antioxidant vitamins to the modulation of vascular oxidases, such as NAD(P)H oxidases. These oxidases and their products not only regulate pulmonary vascular tone and intimal and smooth muscle thickening, but also modulate the adaptation of the right ventricle to increased afterload. It is important that well-designed randomized clinical trials be conducted to test the importance of oxidase-reactive oxygen species activation in the pathogenesis and treatment of pulmonary hypertension. The purpose of this Forum on Pulmonary Hypertension is to summarize the available preclinical information, which may aid in designing and conducting future randomized clinical trials for evaluating the efficacy of antioxidants for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension. The complexity of oxidative pathways contributed to the tremendous difficulties and challenges in selecting agents, doses, and designing clinical trials. Further studies using human, animal, and cell culture models may be needed to define optimal trials. This Forum on Pulmonary Hypertension should stimulate new thinking and provide essential background information to better define the challenges of developing successful randomized clinical trials in the near future.
