Precapillary pulmonary arterial hypertension in a patient with Proteus syndrome.
Article in Pulmonary circulation, 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
Proteus syndrome is a rare progressive multisystem disorder characterized by asymmetric, disproportionate overgrowth of bone, skin, and other tissue types. Molecular pathogenesis has been identified as somatic activating mutations of the AKT1 gene. The presentation of Proteus syndrome is exceptionally variable. Respiratory complications include emphysematous lung disease and predisposition to pulmonary emboli, the latter of which is a significant source of mortality. Pulmonary hypertension due to longstanding hypoxic lung disease as well as chronic thromboembolic events has been observed in this population. In contrast, precapillary pulmonary arterial hypertension in the absence of chronic pulmonary emboli and parenchymal lung disease has not been described in the literature on patients with Proteus syndrome. We report such a case in a young patient with Proteus syndrome, reviewing subsequent management and emphasizing the need for a detailed investigation of dyspnea.
