Advanced airway management and respiratory care in decompensated pulmonary hypertension.
Review in Heart failure reviews, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Meticulous risk stratification is essential when considering intubation of a patient with decompensated pulmonary hypertension (dPH). It is paramount to understand both the pathophysiology of dPH (and associated right ventricular failure) and the complications related to a high-risk intubation before attempting the procedure. There are few recommendations in this area and the literature, guiding these recommendations, is limited to expert opinion and very few case reports/case series. This review will discuss the complex pathophysiology of dPH, the complications associated with intubation, the debates surrounding induction agents, and the available options for the intubation procedure, with specific emphasis on the emerging role for awake fiberoptic intubation. All patients should be evaluated for candidacy for veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygen as a bridge to recovery, lung transplantation, or pulmonary endarterectomy prior to intubation. Only an experienced proceduralist who is both comfortable with high-risk intubations and the pathophysiology of dPH should perform these intubations.
