An Unlikely Trio: Profound Anemia, Elevated Lactate, and Riociguat.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Riociguat (Adempas) is a stimulator of soluble guanylate cyclase approved to treat adult pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), World Health Organization (WHO) group 1 pulmonary hypertension (PH), and inoperable or persistent chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), WHO group 4 PH. Riociguat has been studied predominantly in WHO functional class II and III patients. In the pivotal Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Soluble Guanylate Stimulator Trial 1 (PATENT-1) clinical trial, anemia was reported in 8% of patients; however, this anemia was typically very mild. We present a unique case of profound anemia and elevated lactate occurring in a patient taking riociguat for treatment of PAH.
