Abnormal Ventilation-Perfusion Scan Is Associated with Pulmonary Hypertension in Sickle Cell Adults.
Article in Journal of nuclear medicine : official publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) in adults with sickle cell disease (SCD) is associated with early mortality. Chronic thromboembolic PH (CTEPH) is an important complication and contributor to PH in SCD but is likely underappreciated. Guidelines recommend ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scintigraphy as the imaging modality of choice to exclude CTEPH. Data on V/Q scanning are limited in SCD. Our objective was to compare the performance of V/Q scanning with that of CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) and to report clinical outcomes associated with abnormal V/Q findings.
