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

backgroundPulmonary hypertension (PH) is a global health issue that has profound medical and research implications.

methodsThis retrospective study examined changes in renal and liver function, as well as lipid metabolism, over a 12-month period in 49 adult patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). All cases were admitted, managed, and followed up with in the PH Center, County Emergency Clinical Hospital of Targu Mures, Romania.

resultsKidney dysfunction was observed in 12.24% of cases at baseline, decreasing to 8.16% at 12 months, and CTEPH patients were more affected. In particular, CTEPH patients exhibited an improvement in renal function, confirmed by an increase in their glomerular filtration rates. Hepatic impairment was present in 57.14% of subjects at baseline, declining to 42.86% at 12 months, with significant improvements noted in the PAH group. Lipid metabolic dysregulations were experienced by 22.45% of all patients at baseline, decreasing to 16.33% at 6 months, with a slow elevation to 24.49% at 12 months, but with no statistically significant differences. Pharmacological regimens were adjusted in accordance with the PH groups, a patient's functional and clinical response, and laboratory tests.

conclusionsOur results demonstrate the multi-organ damage in PH and the importance of individualized treatment approaches.
