1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a serious condition characterized with chronic organized thrombi that obstruct the pulmonary vessels, leading to pulmonary hypertension (PH) and ultimately right heart failure. Although CTEPH is the only form of PH that can be cured with surgical intervention, not all patients with CTEPH will be deemed operable. Some CTEPH patients still have a poor prognosis. Therefore, the determination of diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of CTEPH is of great importance for the early intervention to improve prognosis of patients with CTEPH. Several markers related to multiple mechanisms of CTEPH have been recently identified as circulating diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in these patients. However, the existing literature review of biomarkers of CTEPH is relatively sparse. In this article, we review recent advances in circulating biomarkers of CTEPH and describe future applications of these biomarkers in the management of CTEPH.
