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

Aims: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a complex clinical condition, and left heart disease is the leading cause. Little is known about the epidemiology and prognosis of combined post- and pre-capillary PH (CpcPH). Methods and results: This retrospective analysis of the Swiss PH Registry included incident patients with CpcPH registered from January 2001 to June 2019 at 13 Swiss hospitals. Patient baseline characteristics [age, sex, mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP), pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP), pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), and risk factors, including World Health Organization (WHO)-functional class (FC), 6 min walk distance (6MWD), and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), treatment, days of follow-up, and events (death or loss to follow-up) at last visit] were analysed by Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses. Two hundred and thirty-one patients (59.3% women, age 65 ± 12 years, mPAP 48 ± 11 mmHg, PAWP 21 ± 5 mmHg, PVR 7.2 ± 4.8 WU) were included. Survival analyses showed a significantly longer survival for women [hazard ratio (HR) 0.58 (0.38-0.89); Conclusion: Among patients with CpcPH, women and patients with an mPAP ≤46 mmHg survived longer. Furthermore, risk stratification by using non-invasively assessed risk factors, such as WHO-FC, 6MWD, and NT-proBNP, as proposed for pulmonary arterial hypertension, stratified survival in CpcPH, and might be helpful in the management of these patients.
