Balloon pulmonary angioplasty for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension:its history and development, and regional medical cooperation in Fukushima.
Review in Fukushima journal of medical science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is designated as an intractable disease by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan, and has an extremely poor prognosis if untreated. Surgical pulmonary endarterectomy is the curative treatment for cases in which the organized thrombi are located in the central part of the pulmonary artery, but there had been no effective treatment for cases in which the thrombi are located in the peripheral part of the pulmonary artery. Recently, balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA), a transcatheter procedure to dilate stenotic or occluded lesions in the peripheral pulmonary artery, has been rapidly developed. Although BPA was once a globally abandoned procedure due to hemorrhagic complications, Japanese experts have improved the technique, and its safety and efficacy have been enhanced. As a result, BPA is now being reevaluated worldwide. This review describes the history and development of BPA in the treatment of CTEPH, as well as the status of this treatment in Fukushima Prefecture.
