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

Sotatercept acts as a type IIA-Fc activin receptor, thereby scavenging free activin from its physiological membrane receptor. Through this type of action, sotaterpect leads to a rebalancing of the proliferation and antiproliferation pathways of pulmonary smooth muscle cells in response to bone morphogenic protein (BMP). Although sotatercept has been approved as the fourth pillar of therapy for group 1 pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in the United States and Europe, several studies are ongoing to broaden the application of the drug to non-Group 1 PAH. We provide an overview of the clinical and preclinical evidence of targeting the activation pathway by sotatercept in the treatment of PAH. We also discuss other potential applications of sotatercept in the context of pulmonary hypertension other than PAH group 1.
