Successful use of intravenous treprostinil as a bridge to pulmonary thromboendarterectomy.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) involves non-resolving thromboemboli in the pulmonary arteries. Treatment for CTEPH includes lifelong anticoagulation and determination of patients who have disease which is operable versus inoperable. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) targeted therapies are oftentimes used as a bridge to pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE), though riociguat is the only Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved therapy for CTEPH. There is a paucity of data regarding the efficacy of other PAH therapies, particularly as a bridge to PTE. Here, we present a case report of severe CTEPH related to ventriculoatrial shunt in which intravenous treprostinil was used as a bridge to PTE.
