Neurohormonal modulation as therapeutic avenue for right ventricular dysfunction in pulmonary artery hypertension: till the dawn, waiting.
Review in Annals of translational medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Neuro-hormonal activation may lead to or be associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and right ventricular dysfunction. Notwithstanding whether it is the cause or the consequence of PAH-related right ventricle (RV) dysfunction neurohormonal activation contributes to significant morbidity and mortality in patients with PAH and the progression of RV dysfunction. Experimental data regarding the use of beta adrenergic blockade and renin-angiotensin aldosterone system modulation are encouraging. However, clinical studies have largely been negative or neutral; and, neuro-hormonal modulation is discouraged in patients with PAH related RV dysfunction for fear of systemic hypotension. Herein, we summarize the pathophysiological background that supports the potential role of neuro-hormonal modulation in the management of PAH related RV dysfunction; also present current clinical experience; and, discuss the need for controlled studies to move forward. Lastly, we review potential non- pharmacological modalities for neuro-hormonal modulations in PAH patients with RV dysfunction.
