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

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is an underdiagnosed and undertreated sequelae of acute pulmonary embolism. In this comprehensive review, we provide an introductory overview of CTEPH, highlight recent advances in its diagnostic imaging, and describe the surgical technique for pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE), the only established curative treatment for CTEPH. We also discuss the emerging role of balloon pulmonary angioplasty, both independently and combined with PTE, for patients with inoperable, residual, or refractory pulmonary hypertension post PTE. Finally, we stress the importance of a specialized multidisciplinary team approach to CTEPH patient care and share our approach to optimizing care for these patients.
