Pulmonary Hypertension and Pregnancy Outcomes: Insights From the National Inpatient Sample.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundPregnant women with pulmonary hypertension (PH) are at risk for adverse cardiac outcomes, particularly at the time of labor and delivery. The purpose of this study is to define the impact of PH on pregnancy outcomes and the risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE). METHODS AND
resultsThe National Inpatient Sample was screened for hospital admissions of women delivering during the years 2003 to 2012. The primary outcome was MACE, a composite of death, cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock, myocardial infarction, respiratory failure, arrhythmia, stroke, and embolic event. Data on 1519 patients with PH and 6 757 582 without heart disease or PH were available. There were 59.6% with isolated PH; 10.7% with PH and congenital heart disease; 18.1% with PH and valvular heart disease; 3% with PH and valvular heart disease and congenital heart disease; 6.6% PH and cardiomyopathy; and 1.9% with PH and cardiomyopathy and valvular heart disease. Compared with women without heart disease or PH, women with PH experienced significantly higher MACE (24.8 versus 0.4%,
conclusionsIn a contemporary data set of pregnant women in the United States, PH was associated with an increase in MACE during the hospitalization for delivery, with an exceptionally elevated risk among women with associated cardiomyopathy.
