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

Right ventricular (RV) dilatation predicts clinical worsening in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and RV volumes can be measured with high precision using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging. In regular follow-up of patients and in studies of improvement in RV function, knowledge of clinically significant changes of RV volumes and function are of relevance. Patients with PAH were followed with cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging and clinical assessment at 6-month intervals. Changes in RV volumes associated with changes in clinical status were assessed. Twenty-five patients with PAH (Group 1) were included and examined every 6 months for 2.5 years, with a total of 107 MRI scans. For a step change in WHO functional class, the associated change in RV volume was 11% (confidence interval 7%-14%,
