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

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a major complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc) and screening is recommended for a timely initiation of disease-targeted drug therapy to modify disease progression. Patients with SSc-PAH have a better prognosis when detected and treated early. The PAH can occur in all disease stages and subsets of SSc. Regular screening tests, which are indicative for PAH, e.g. echocardiography, diffusion capacity, brain natriuretic protein (BNP) and a 6-min walking test, are recommended to enhance the suspicion, since clinical symptoms are unspecific and occur late in the course of PAH. In patients with suspected PAH, the diagnosis should be confirmed by right heart catheterization. A multidisciplinary approach in expert centres including rheumatologists and respiratory physicians and cardiologists specialized in pulmonary hypertension is mandatory for management of patients with SSc at risk for or with manifest pulmonary arterial hypertension.
