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

backgroundUnresolved thromboemboli in the pulmonary arteries (PA) is known to cause chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). However, it remains unknown if vascular dysfunction in pulmonary arteries exists in patients with CTEPH. METHODS AND

resultsWe enrolled 7 female patients with CTEPH in this study, who have stable pulmonary hemodynamics after balloon pulmonary angioplasty (age; 73.6 ± 3.0 years old, mean right atrial pressure; 4.1 ± 0.4 mm Hg, mean pulmonary arterial pressure; 29.4 ± 2.7, mean pulmonary artery wedge pressure; 8.1 ± 1.2, pulmonary vascular resistance; 397.3 ± 51.7 dynes, cardiac index; 3.1 ± 0.2 L/min/m

conclusionsThese results indicated that the pulmonary artery dysfunction exists in patients with CTEPH, which may be involved in the pathogenesis and progression of CTEPH.
