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

In patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), the primary cause of death is right ventricular (RV) failure. Improvement in RV function is therefore one of the most important treatment goals. In order to be able to reverse RV dysfunction and also prevent RV failure, a detailed understanding of the pathobiology of RV failure and the underlying mechanisms concerning the transition from a pressure-overloaded adapted right ventricle to a dilated and failing right ventricle is required. Here, we propose that insufficient RV contractility, myocardial fibrosis, capillary rarefaction, and a disturbed metabolism are important features of a failing right ventricle. Furthermore, an overview is provided about the potential direct RV effects of PH-targeted therapies and the effects of RV-directed medical treatments.
