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

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) in children is a heterogenous disease of the small pulmonary arteries characterized by a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance. Despite adequate medical therapy, long-term pressure overload is frequently associated with a progressive course leading to right ventricular failure and ultimately death. Invasive hemodynamic assessment by cardiac catheterization is crucial for initial diagnosis, risk stratification and therapeutic strategy. Although echocardiography remains the most important imaging modality for the assessment of right ventricular function and pulmonary hemodynamics, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has emerged as a valuable non-invasive imaging technique that enables comprehensive evaluation of biventricular performance, blood flow, morphology and the myocardial tissue. In this review, we summarize the principles and applications of CMR in the evaluation of pediatric PH patients and present an update about novel CMR based concepts and imaging biomarkers that may provide further diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic information.
