Predictive Value of GDF-15 and sST2 for Pulmonary Hypertension in Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
Article in International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Objective: To confirm whether growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) and soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2) are indicators of pulmonary hypertension in acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD-PH). Methods: All patients admitted to the hospital with AECOPD between July 2020 and October 2021 were enrolled. The patients were then categorized into AECOPD and AECOPD-PH groups according to PH probability, and the differences in GDF-15 and sST2 serum levels in the AECOPD and AECOPD-PH groups were compared. Correlation analysis was carried out to explore the association between GDF-15 and sST2 serum levels and the length of hospital stay of patients with AECOPD-PH. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to assess the clinical significance of GDF-15 and sST2 in predicting patients with AECOPD-PH. Results: Included in this study were 126 patients with AECOPD, including 69 with AECOPD and 57 with AECOPD-PH. The serum levels of GDF-15 and sST2 in the AECOPD-PH group were significantly higher than those in the AECOPD group ( Conclusion: GDF-15 and sST2 levels may be useful in the prediction of AECOPD-PH.
