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

The pathobiology of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is complex and incompletely understood. Although three pathogenic pathways have been relatively well characterised, it is widely accepted that dysfunction in a multitude of other cellular processes is likely to play a critical role in driving the development of PAH. Currently available therapies, which all target one of the three well-characterised pathways, provide significant benefits for patients; however, PAH remains a progressive and ultimately fatal disease. The development of drugs to target alternative pathogenic pathways is, therefore, an attractive proposition and one that may complement existing treatment regimens to improve outcomes for patients. Considerable research has been undertaken to identify the role of the less well-understood pathways and in this review we will highlight some of the key discoveries and the potential for utility as therapeutic targets.
