Pulmonary arterial hypertension in the elderly: Clinical perspectives.
Synthesis in Cardiology journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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) is a rare and devastating disease characterized by progressive increases in pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance, which eventually leads to right ventric-ular failure and death. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) (World Health Organization Group I), a subset of PH, and may be idiopathic in nature or associated with other systemic conditions and is thought to most commonly effect women, the majority of whom are of childbearing age. However, PAH in the elderly population is being increasingly diagnosed creating clinical considerations that had once not been considered. Often in an elderly population the diagnosis of PAH may be delayed due to chronic comorbid conditions such as coronary artery disease or other dyspneic conditions. Though survival and clinical outcomes have improved, the elderly population continues to have disproportionately lower survival rates. High clinical suspicion of PAH warrants a complete diagnostic workup with right heart catheterization. Upon diagnosis, PAH specific therapy should be initiated with possible drug interactions in mind. Adjuvant pulmonary rehabilitation should be considered as a conservative measure with definitive results. Finally, psychosomatic aspects of the disease should also be considered in elderly populations.
