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

Objective Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a progressive disease that leads to right-sided heart failure with electrocardiographic abnormalities. There are only a few reports about the effects of balloon pulmonary angioplasty for CTEPH on the electrocardiographic criteria of right ventricular hypertrophy. To determine the effect of balloon angioplasty on electrocardiography in patients with CTEPH. Methods We evaluated electrocardiograms in 19 patients (mean age, 64±10 years) who underwent balloon pulmonary angioplasty. Results We compared the hemodynamic parameters after balloon pulmonary angioplasty. The mean pulmonary artery pressure was decreased (p<0.001), and the cardiac index was increased (p=0.025) after balloon pulmonary angioplasty. The level of brain natriuretic peptide was decreased (p=0.001) after balloon pulmonary angioplasty (p<0.001). We applied 15 criteria for right ventricular hypertrophy to the patients, according to the American Heart Association recommendations of the electrocardiogram, after balloon pulmonary angioplasty. Among the criteria, the numbers of patients who met the criteria of deep S in V
