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

key pointsPassive, isolated post-capillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) secondary to left heart disease may progress to combined pre- and post-capillary or 'active' PH This 'activation' of post-capillary PH significantly increases morbidity and mortality, and is still incompletely understood. In this study, pulmonary vein banding gradually produced post-capillary PH with structural and functional microvascular remodelling in swine. Ten weeks after banding, the pulmonary endothelin pathway was upregulated, likely contributing to pre-capillary aspects in the initially isolated post-capillary PH. Inhibition of the endothelin pathway could potentially stop the progression of early stage post-capillary PH. ABSTRACT: Passive, isolated post-capillary pulmonary hypertension (IpcPH) secondary to left heart disease may progress to combined pre- and post-capillary or 'active' PH (CpcPH) characterized by chronic pulmonary vascular constriction and remodelling. The mechanisms underlying this 'activation' of passive pulmonary hypertension (PH) remain incompletely understood. Here we investigated the role of the vasoconstrictor endothelin-1 (ET) in the progression from IpcPH to CpcPH in a swine model for post-capillary PH. Swine underwent pulmonary vein banding (PVB; n = 7) or sham-surgery (Sham; n = 6) and were chronically instrumented 4 weeks later. Haemodynamics were assessed for 8 weeks, at rest and during exercise, before and after administration of the ET receptor antagonist tezosentan. After sacrifice, the pulmonary vasculature was investigated by histology, RT-qPCR and myograph experiments. Pulmonary arterial pressure and resistance increased significantly over time. mRNA expression of prepro-endothelin-1 and endothelin converting enzyme-1 in the lung was increased, while ET
