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

Instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) are significantly related to quality of life and mortality among individuals with heart disease. However, few reports have examined IADL in persons with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). The aim of this study was to clarify factors related to IADL in persons with CTEPH. This retrospective, observational study enrolled 163 persons with CTEPH (mean ± standard deviation age = 65 ± 13 years; 68% female) admitted to the Department of Cardiology at Keio University Hospital between January 2015 and July 2019. The Frenchay Activities Index (FAI) was used to assess IADL. Age, sex, body mass index, World Health Organization functional class (WHO-FC), cardiac function (mean pulmonary arterial pressure, mean right atrial pressure, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, and cardiac index), pulmonary function (percentage vital capacity, percentage forced expiratory volume in 1 s, diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide (DLCO)/alveolar volume (VA)), physical function (knee extension strength and walking speed), and 6-min walking distance (6MWD) were assessed. Multiple regression analysis was performed to identify factors significantly associated with FAI. Mean FAI was 25 ± 8. Univariate analysis showed that sex, WHO-FC, DLCO/VA, walking speed, and 6MWD were correlated with FAI. Multiple regression analysis showed that 6MWD (sβ = 0.338, 95% CI 0.014-0.034,
