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

Decompensated right ventricular failure (RVF) in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) is fatal, with limited treatment options. Novel mechanical circulatory support systems have therapeutic potential for RVF, but the development of these devices requires a large animal disease model that replicates the pathophysiology observed in humans. We previously reported an effective disease model of PH in sheep through ligation of the left pulmonary artery (PA) and progressive occlusion of the main PA. Herein, we report a case of acute decompensation with this model of chronic RVF. Gradual PA banding raised the RV pressure (maximum RV systolic/mean pressure = 95 mmHg/56 mmHg). Clinical findings and laboratory serum parameters suggested appropriate physiologic compensation for 7 weeks. However, mixed venous saturation declined precipitously on week 7, and creatinine increased markedly on week 9. By the 10th week, the animal developed dependent, subcutaneous edema. Subsequently, the animal expired during the induction of general anesthesia. Post-mortem evaluation revealed several liters of pleural effusion and ascites, RV dilatation, eccentric RV hypertrophy, and myocardial fibrosis. The presented case supports this model's relevance to the human pathophysiology of RVF secondary to PH and its value in the development of novel devices, therapeutics, and interventions.
