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

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare and underdiagnosed complication of acute pulmonary embolism (APE). CTEPH is a common cause of pulmonary hypertension (PH) with distinct management strategy including pulmonary endarterectomy, balloon pulmonary angioplasty, long-term anticoagulation and PH drugs targeting endothelial cell dysfunction. Initially, PH in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease (CTEPD) was thought to be due exclusively to the intravascular obstruction of pulmonary arteries by unresolved fibrotic clots. However, it is now well accepted that pulmonary vascular remodelling can include significant pulmonary microvasculopathy, which plays a role in the development of CTEPH. The histological description and clinical consequences of CTEPH microvasculopathy are now better understood. These lesions may involve not only small muscular pulmonary arteries <500 µm, but also pulmonary capillaries and veins. In addition, enlargement and proliferation of systemic bronchial arteries as well as anastomoses between the systemic and pulmonary circulations contribute to the development of microvasculopathy. In this review, we discuss the recent advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of CTEPH.
