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

This paper reports a case of plateau heart disease in Qinghai-Tibetan plateau who had recurrent symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath for 6 years but was misdiagnosed as chronic pulmonary heart disease. Plateau heart disease was diagnosed by thoracic computed tomography, pulmonary arteriography, pulmonary function tests and examination of medical history. Through the detailed analysis and differential diagnosis of this case, the aim is to distinguish between high-altitude heart disease and high-altitude chronic pulmonary heart disease, with the hope of achieving new breakthroughs in the diagnosis and treatment of this condition in the future.
