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

The authors report a rare clinical case of a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) complicated by pulmonary hypertension (PH), which presents with rapid progression. An exhaustive investigation was performed to identify the main aetiology of the PH. It was concluded that the PH could be associated with NF1, and so belonged in group 5 of the clinical classification of PH. In general, such patients have a poor long-term prognosis due to the inexistence of proven, effective treatment. Further studies are needed to better understand the mechanisms of NF1-associated PH.
