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 artery catheterization is a diagnostic procedure in which a catheter is inserted through a central vein and advanced toward the pulmonary artery to measure right atrial, right ventricular, and pulmonary artery pressures, estimate cardiac output, identify intracardiac shunts, and measure pulmonary vascular resistance. Hemodynamic measurements can provide a better understanding of the pathophysiology of heart failure and pulmonary hypertension, but their proper assessment and optimal use can be challenging due to differences in techniques that can lead to differences in conclusions and therapeutic management strategies. In this review, we will discuss right heart catheterization and its role in clinical practice (e.g., shunt evaluation, management of cardiogenic shock) and summarize important concerns related to measurement and interpretation.
