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

Pathological alterations of inspiratory capacity (IC) have been observed in pulmonary hypertension. However, the clinical significance of IC in operable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) without other pulmonary diseases remains unknown. CTEPH patients scheduled for pulmonary endarterectomy were prospectively screened. Despite being associated with functional capacity, pathological alterations of IC were not observed.
