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 (PAH) is a complex and incurable disease for which pulmonary vasodilators remain the core therapy. Of the three primary pathways that vasodilators target, the prostacyclin pathway was the earliest to be used and currently has the largest number of modalities for drug delivery. Inhaled treprostinil has been introduced as a treatment option in PAH and, more recently, pulmonary hypertension (PH) due to interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD), and the earlier nebulized form has been joined by a dry powder form allowing for more convenient use. In this review, we discuss inhaled treprostinil, focusing on the dry powder inhalation (DPI) formulation, and explore its dosing, applications, and evidence to support patient tolerance and acceptance. Recent trials underpinning the evidence for use of inhaled treprostinil and the most recent developments concerning the drug are discussed. Finally, the review looks briefly into premarket formulations of inhaled treprostinil and relevant early studies suggesting efficacy in PAH treatment.
