Inhaled treprostinil in group 3 pulmonary hypertension associated with lung disease: results of the INCREASE and PERFECT studies.
Article in Breathe (Sheffield, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Group 3 pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with lung disease is a common cause of PH and is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Multiple studies of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) therapies in this population have demonstrated conflicting results regarding their safety and efficacy, and therefore the optimum treatment for this group is unknown. The INCREASE and PERFECT randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials attempted to address this unmet need by exploring the role of inhaled treprostinil (iTRE) in PH associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) and PH associated with COPD (PH-COPD), respectively. In the INCREASE and PERFECT studies individuals were randomised to placebo or iTRE, which was administered
