Increasing mixed venous oxygen saturation is a predictor of improved renal function after balloon pulmonary angioplasty in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.

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
Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) has emerged as an effective treatment for patients with inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Renal function has been identified as a prognostic marker in patients with pulmonary hypertension in previous studies. We, therefore, aimed to investigate the clinical parameters associated with improvements in renal function in patients with CTEPH. A total of 45 consecutive patients with inoperable CTEPH undergoing BPA (mean age 62.2 ± 15.1 years) were included in the study. We evaluated the patients' clinical characteristics at baseline and at 1-year post-BPA, and investigated the association between renal function and hemodynamic parameters, including right heart function. Hemodynamics and renal function showed sustained improvements at 1 year after BPA in 64.4% of patients. Improved estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was significantly correlated with increased cardiac index (r = 0.433, p = 0.003) and mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO
