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 lethal disorder characterized by pulmonary arterial remodeling, increased right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP), vasoconstriction and inflammation. The heritable form of PAH (HPAH) is usually (>80%) caused by mutations in the bone morphogenic protein receptor 2 (BMPR2) gene. Existing treatments for PAH typically focus on the end-stage sequelae of the disease, but do not address underlying mechanisms of vascular obstruction and blood flow and thus, in the long run, have limited effect because they treat the symptoms rather than the cause. Over the past decade, improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind the disease has enabled us to consider several novel therapeutic pathways. These include approaches directed toward BMPR2 gene expression, alternative splicing, downstream BMP signaling, metabolic pathways and the role of estrogens and estrogenic compounds in BMP signaling. It is likely that, ultimately, only one or two of these pathways will generate meaningful treatment options, however the potential benefits to PAH patients are still likely to be significant.
