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

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is present in an important proportion of patients with interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), encompassing a large, heterogeneous group of diffuse parenchymal lung diseases. Development of ILD-related PH is associated with reduced exercise capacity, increased need for supplemental oxygen, decreased quality of life and earlier death. Diagnosis of ILD-related PH is important and requires a high index of suspicion. Noninvasive diagnostic assessment can suggest the presence of PH, although right heart catheterisation remains the gold standard to confirm the diagnosis and to assess its severity. A comprehensive assessment is needed to make sure reversible causes of PH have been ruled out, including thromboembolic events, untreated hypoxaemia and sleep disordered breathing. The results of trials concerning pulmonary vasodilators in this particular patient group have been disappointing and, in some cases, were even associated with an increased risk of harm. Newer strategies such as medications administered through inhalation and combinations with antifibrotic drugs show encouraging results. Moreover, unravelling the role of the vasculature in the pathophysiology of pulmonary fibrosis and ILD-related PH may potentially unlock new therapeutic opportunities.
