Management of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Patients with World Health Organization Functional Class II.
Review in Acta Cardiologica Sinica, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 arterial hypertension (PAH) is an incurable chronic and progressive debilitating disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The World Health Organization functional class (WHO FC) at diagnosis and at follow-up remains one of the strongest predictors of survival in PAH. Studies have shown improved long-term outcomes in PAH patients who received PAH-specific treatment, as monotherapy or as combination therapy, early in their disease course. Studies have also shown that without treatment, PAH rapidly deteriorates even in patients with less advanced (low risk) disease state. In this article, we review evidence from randomized controlled clinical trials to support our position on the importance of early PAH management in WHO FC II patients. The growing importance of combination therapy in the early treatment of PAH and recommendations by the most recent guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary hypertension are also discussed in this article.
