Soluble ST2 and mixed venous oxygen saturation for prediction of mortality in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2021. 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
backgroundAlthough soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 (sST2) has been identified as a clinical biomarker for pulmonary hypertension (PH) by previous studies, the implication of sST2 combined with hemodynamic parameters in PH has not been well studied. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between sST2 and hemodynamic parameters and to evaluate the predictive value of sST2 for mortality in patients with PH.
methodsOne hundred eighty-four incident patients with PH and 14 healthy controls were retrospectively enrolled by Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital for this retrospective study. After all patients underwent right heart catheterization, blood samples were collected and serum sST2 concentration was assessed by the Presage™ ST2 assay. Kaplan-Meier curve and Cox regression analyses were used to predict survival and the association between survival and different factors such as sST2, SvO
resultsDuring a follow-up of 44.9 (IQR 28.5-64.4) months, 65 patients died. The median concentration of sST2 in PH patients was 33.1 ng/mL, which is higher than that in control group (23.1 ng/mL, P=0.005). Furthermore, for PH group, the level of sST2 was higher in non-survivors than that in survivors. Cox regression analyses demonstrated that sST2 and SvO
conclusionsHigher sST2 was independently associated with increased mortality, as well as lower SvO
