Successful treatment of pulmonary hypertension following hematopoietic stem cell transplant with a single oral tadalafil: a case report.
Article in Pulmonary circulation. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A 46-year-old man who had undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplant twice because of acute lymphoblastic leukemia with recurrence presented with dyspnea, leading to a diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension which was quickly and effectively treated with the phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor tadalafil. To our knowledge, pulmonary arterial hypertension related to hematologic malignancies requiring hematopoietic stem cell transplant is rarely reported. Importantly, the present case suggests that early diagnosis and treatment with a pulmonary vasodilator, such as tadalafil, can greatly decrease pulmonary vascular resistance in patients with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension after hematopoietic stem cell transplant and can then improve other symptoms. Accordingly, pulmonary vascular disease should be considered if respiratory symptoms develop following hematopoietic stem cell transplant, because treatment with pulmonary vasodilator may lead to significant improvement in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
