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

Symptoms associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) impact patient's health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Studies on change and if a minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in HRQoL is reached within a year after diagnosis are lacking. The aim was to investigate the change in HRQoL as well as the proportion of patients that reached MCID at an early postdiagnosis visit. The study included adult patients from the Swedish PAH & CTEPH registry, diagnosed 2008-2021, with Cambridge Pulmonary Hypertension Outcome Review (CAMPHOR) at time of diagnosis and a follow-up. Data were analyzed as total population and dichotomized for sex, age (<65 vs. ≥65 years), time of diagnosis (≤2015 vs. >2015) and pulmonary hypertension (PH) subgroups. Data reported as median, interquartile range (IQR), and proportions (%). There were 151 patients (PAH = 119, CTEPH = 32) with an available CAMPHOR score at diagnosis and follow-up. CAMPHOR total sum was 31 (IQR: 21-43) and 25 (14-36); (
