Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: a systematic review.
Article in Annals of cardiothoracic surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Background: Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) is the gold standard treatment for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). However, the results are poorly quantified outside a few registry reports and several individual centers. Methods: A systematic review was performed searching five electronic databases assessing the outcomes for adult patients undergoing PTE for CTEPH. All articles that reported mortality data were included. Primary outcome measures were early/inpatient mortality; secondary outcomes were survival, pulmonary haemodynamics, morbidity and functional status following PTE for CTEPH. Results were pooled via a meta-analysis of proportions and meta-regression. Results: A total of 5,717 studies were identified, yielding sixty-one relevant papers. Thirty-day mortality ranged from 0.8% to 24.4%, and on meta-analysis was 8.4% [95% confidence interval (CI): 7.2-9.6%]. Mortality was noted to decrease with increasing center volume of PTE cases (P<0.01). Residual pulmonary hypertension was reported in 8.2% to 44.5% of patients. Conclusions: CTEPH is associated with acceptable short-term mortality and an improvement in pulmonary hemodynamics. With increasing volume of experience and ongoing developments over time peri-operative mortality continues to decrease.
