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

Eisenmenger syndrome (ES) refers to congenital heart diseases (CHD) with reversal flow associated with increased pulmonary pressure and irreversible pulmonary vascular remodeling. Previous reports showed limited therapeutic strategies in ES. In this study, 5 ES patients (2 males and 3 females), who had been followed regularly at our institution from 2010 to 2019, were retrospectively reviewed. We adopted an add-on combination of sildenafil, bosentan, and iloprost and collected the clinical characteristics and outcomes as well as findings of echocardiography, computed tomography, pulmonary perfusion-ventilation scans, positron emission tomography, and biomarkers. The age of diagnosis in these ES patients ranged from 23 to 54 years (38.2 ± 11.1 years; mean ± standard deviation), and they were followed for 7 to 17 years. Their mean pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance index were 56.4 ± 11.3 mmHg and 24.7 ± 8.5 WU.m
