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 arterial hypertension is characterized by elevated blood pressure and pathological changes in the pulmonary arterioles, leading to the development of right-heart failure and potentially fatal outcomes if left untreated. This review aims to provide an overview of novel drugs or formulations and new drug indications for pulmonary arterial hypertension that are currently in phases II-III of randomized controlled trials, and describe the rationale for the use of these targeted therapies, as well as their efficacy, safety profile, and impact on quality of life and survival. The literature research was conducted using data from ClinicalTrials.gov for the period between 1 January 2016 up to 31 December 2022. The population of interest includes individuals aged ≥ 18 years who have been diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension. The review selection criteria included trials with recruiting, enrolling by invitation, active, terminated or completed status in 2022 and 2023. A total of 24 studies were selected for evaluation based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. This review summarizes the updated information from randomized clinical trials involving novel therapies for pulmonary arterial hypertension. However, larger clinical trials are required to validate their clinical safety and effects. In the future, clinicians should choose therapies based on the patient's individual situation and requirements when developing treatment strategies.
