Comprehensive Exercise Capacity and Quality of Life Assessments Predict Mortality in Patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.
Article in Acta Cardiologica Sinica, 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
backgroundThe 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) are exercise tests associated with physical function, quality of life and hemodynamic data in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). This study was conducted to assess correlations between exercise capacity, quality of life and disease functional classification, and to analyze the value of comprehensive assessments in predicting mortality in patients with PAH.
methodsFifty-four patients with PAH were enrolled. Comprehensive assessments including exercise capacity evaluated using the 6MWT and CPET, and health-related quality of life evaluated using the Short Form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire were performed in all participants. The patients were followed for 2 years with the end point of mortality.
resultsThe survivors had a longer 6-minute walking distance, higher peak oxygen uptake and higher physical component score of the SF-36 than the non-survivors. In addition, exercise capacity combined with SF-36 predicted 2-year mortality in the patients with PAH. The patients with lower peak oxygen uptake (peak VO
conclusionsComprehensive assessments of exercise capacity and quality of life can be used to predict 2-year mortality in patients with PAH.
