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

backgroundPostpartum pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) complicated with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a rare condition. Diagnosing and treating PAH in patients with HHT can be challenging. To the best of our knowledge, no previous reports have investigated the efficacy of pulmonary vasodilators in improving hemodynamics in postpartum patients with this disease. CASE SUMMARY: In this paper, we report a postpartum case of HHT combined with PAH, presenting with worsening dyspnea. Genetic testing revealed that the patient carried a heterozygous variant of activin receptor-like kinase 1. The patient received various treatments, including diuretics, anticoagulants, sildenafil, macitentan, inhalation of nitric oxide, and iloprost. Changes in PaO

conclusionTo our knowledge, this is the first report on efficacy of pulmonary vasodilators in postpartum patients with HHT and PAH.
