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

Platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome is a rare cause of dyspnea, which presents upon standing and resolves when supine. Etiology is multifactorial with a functional component and an anatomical shunt. The most commonly reported shunt is an atrial septal defect, however a shunt can occur in advanced hepatic or pulmonary disease. Treatment is dependent on the type and location of the shunt. In atrial septal defects percutaneous repair is preferred. To follow is a case of iatrogenic platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome secondary to heart failure guideline directed medical therapy in a 79 year-old woman.
