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

Portopulmonary hypertension is an uncommon disease associated with high morbidity and mortality, so its early diagnosis and treatment are essential. We report here the case of a 57-year-old man with portopulmonary hypertension caused by chronic hepatosplenic schistosomiasis and also liver cirrhosis due to hepatitis C and alcoholism. As well as treating both diseases, portopulmonary hypertension was successfully managed with tadalafil and macitentan as maintenance therapy. This case reminds clinicians that pulmonary hypertension can be multifactorial, a good diagnosis and a multidisciplinary treatment can lead to improved prognosis.
