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

purpose of reviewPulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) leads to progressive increases in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), right heart failure, and death if left untreated. This review will summarize and discuss recent updates in the classification and management of patients with PAH. RECENT

findingsPAH requires careful hemodynamic assessment and is defined by a mean pulmonary artery pressure > 20 mmHg with normal left-sided filling pressures and a PVR ≥ 3 Wood units. Most patients with PAH require targeted pharmacotherapy based on multiparametric risk stratification. Significant improvements in clinical outcome have been realized through the approval of 14 unique pharmacotherapeutic options. The latest clinical recommendations provide the updated hemodynamic definition and clinical classification as well as evidence-based treatment recommendations. An important change is the focus on initial upfront combination therapy for most patients with PAH. Structured follow-up and escalation of treatment for those not achieving low-risk status is paramount.
