Platypnea-Orthodeoxia: An Effective Diagnostic Tool for Hepatopulmonary Syndrome With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) shows progressive dyspnea resulting from intrapulmonary atrioventricular shunts in liver cirrhosis. The comorbidity of chronic lung disease often hampers the diagnosis of progressive dyspnea in patients with HPS. Therefore, a comprehensive approach to the determination of dyspnea is required. Here, this case report shows that a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and alcoholic liver cirrhosis was diagnosed with HPS after admission due to worsening dyspnea. Although COPD exacerbation was initially suspected because of the long history of smoking, physical examinations, laboratory findings, and imaging data, dyspnea remained after recovery from worsening respiratory failure. HPS was suspected due to the absence of increased CO
