Clinical phenotypes, hemodynamic characteristics and prognosis of Chinese patients with systemic sclerosis-associated precapillary pulmonary hypertension: a retrospective study.
Article in Clinical rheumatology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionSystemic sclerosis (SSc) is associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). This study aimed to explore the prevalence, clinical features, hemodynamic characteristics and prognosis of different severity of ILD in a cohort of patients with SSc-associated precapillary pulmonary hypertension (SSc-PH) and investigate the differences between SSc-PAH and idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) patients.
methodSSc-PH patients and IPAH patients, admitted to Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital (August 1, 2008-January 31, 2020) and diagnosed by right-sided heart catheterization (RHC) or echocardiography, were retrospectively included. SSc-PH patients had a baseline chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), and PH classification was based on the extent of ILD. Clinical, pulmonary function, hemodynamic characteristics and survival data were extracted.
resultsThe study included 45 SSc-PH patients (60% had coexisting ILD and 77.8% were SSc-Group 1 PH/SSc-PAH [without ILD or with mild ILD], 22.2% were SSc-Group 3 PH/SSc-PH with severe ILD) and 52 IPAH patients. SSc-PH with ILD had lower arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO
conclusionsILD was common in SSc-PH patients. Careful phenotyping of PH in SSc-PH patients is very important as it is imperative to recognize its impact on clinical course, treatment and survival. KEY POINTS: • ILD was common in Chinese SSc-PH patients. • SSc-PH patients with ILD had lower PaO
