Echocardiographic Screening Methods for Pulmonary Hypertension: A Practical Review.
Review in Journal of cardiovascular imaging, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a debilitating condition defined as mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) ≥ 25 mmHg. The importance of impaired right ventricular (RV) hemodynamics is increasingly being recognized in treatment of patients with PH. In World Health Organization Group 1 patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension, upfront combination therapy has recently been proposed to improve long-term survival. Also, the mPAP in Group 2 and 3 PH patients has been shown to be strongly associated with clinical outcomes. Thus, screening and monitoring of RV hemodynamics are becoming increasingly important. The gold standard for measuring RV hemodynamics is right heart catheterization (RHC). Although RHC can obtain the most accurate results, it is invasive, cumbersome to patients, and often associated with complications, making it unsuitable for a screening or monitoring modality. Echocardiography is useful in estimating hemodynamic parameters that can be obtained from RHC. Accordingly, the role of echocardiography in evaluating such patients with PH is becoming more important. In this article, we review practical echocardiographic methods in approximating RV hemodynamics for PH.
