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

purpose of reviewChronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is an uncommon complication of acute pulmonary embolism (PE), in which the red, platelet-rich thrombus does not resolve but forms into an organized yellow, fibrotic scar-like obstruction in the pulmonary vasculature. Here we review the pathobiology of CTEPH. RECENT

findingsOur current knowledge has predominantly been informed by studies of human samples and animal models that are inherently limited in their ability to recapitulate all aspects of the disease. These studies have identified alterations in platelet biology and inflammation in the formation of a scar-like thrombus that comprised endothelial cells, myofibroblasts, and immune cells, along with a small vessel pulmonary arterial hypertension-like vasculopathy. The development of CTEPH-specific therapies is currently hindered by a limited knowledge of its pathobiology. The development of new CTEPH medical therapies will require new insights into its pathobiology that bridge the gap from bench to bedside.
