Effect of balloon pulmonary angioplasty on chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: an assessment of the learning curve in a Japanese university hospital.
Article in Cardiovascular intervention and therapeutics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is an innovative treatment for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). We retrospectively examined the clinical outcomes and complications of BPA at Yokohama City University Hospital (YCUH) between 2012 and 2018. In 2012, we began to conduct BPA sessions in 46 patients with inoperable CTEPH; 34 completed the BPA scheme and the follow-up plan. A longitudinal sub-analysis was performed with cohorts 1 and 2 receiving BPA before and after April 2015. Significant improvements in the mean pulmonary arterial pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance, and other parameters were detected after BPA. The total rate of thoracic complications was 25%. Specifically, the increase in SaO
