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

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a complication of incomplete resolution of acute pulmonary embolism. We hypothesize changes in CT Hounsfield Unit gradient (HU-Δ) created by the dispersion of IV contrast through the downstream blood pool correlate with cardiac index (CI). We sought to compare HU-Δ with invasively obtained CI.

methodsWe completed a retrospective analysis of CTEPH patients in which individuals with low CI (<2.2-L/min/m

resultsOf the 237 patients, 50.2% were female, 53.2% were White, 36.7% were Black. Hemodynamics were mean pulmonary artery (PA) pressure = 45.4 ± 11.2-mmHg, pulmonary vascular resistance = 9.2 ± 4.4-WU, CI = 2.05 ± 0.48-L/min/m

conclusionsHigh HU Δ between MPA-LA and MPA-LV were associated with low CI in patients with CTEPH.
