Pulmonary hypertension in adults with congenital heart defects (ACHDs) in light of the 2022 ESC PAH guidelines-part II: supportive therapy, special situations (pregnancy, contraception, non-cardiac surgery), targeted pharmacotherapy, organ transplantation, special management (shunt lesion, left ventricular disease, univentricular hearts), interventions, intensive care, ACHD follow-up, future perspective.
Review in Cardiovascular diagnosis and therapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
The number of adults with congenital heart defects (ACHDs) is steadily increasing and is about 360,000 in Germany. Congenital heart defect (CHD) is often associated with pulmonary hypertension (PH), which sometimes develops early in untreated CHD. Despite timely treatment of CHD, PH not infrequently persists, redevelops in older age, and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The revised European Society of Cardiology (ESC)/European Respiratory Society (ERS) 2022 guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of PH represent a significant contribution to the optimized care of those affected. However, the topic of "adults with congenital heart defects" is treated only relatively superficially in this context. After the first part commenting on a broad range of topics like definition, epidemiology, classification, diagnostics, genetics, risk stratification and follow-up, and gender aspects, the second part focuses on supportive therapy, special situations (pregnancy, contraception, non-cardiac surgery), targeted pharmacotherapy, organ transplantation, special management [shunt lesion, left ventricular (LV) disease, univentricular hearts], interventions, intensive care, ACHD follow-up, and future perspective. In the present article, therefore, this topic is commented on from the perspective of congenital cardiology. By examining these aspects in detail, this article aims to fill the gaps in the existing guidelines and provide a more thorough understanding from the perspective of congenital cardiology.
