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

Recent international guidelines recommend a multidisciplinary evaluation and care model for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), but there is a paucity of supporting data. The aim of this study was to describe the outcomes of a multidisciplinary team approach to the comprehensive care of CTEPH patients. This single-center cohort study enrolled 166 consecutive adult patients undergoing CTEPH treatment evaluation from 2016 to 2022 at a tertiary care, academic regional referral and comprehensive CTEPH center with pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) and balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) capabilities. Patients underwent PTE, BPA, or medical management after consensus evaluation by a multidisciplinary team including pulmonary hypertension physicians, surgeons, interventional cardiologists, and radiologists. 86% (142/166) of patients underwent interventional therapies; 100 (60%) underwent PTE and 42 (25%) BPA. Of the 24 (14%) medically treated patients, 13 patients were offered but deferred intervention; 11 patients had non-intervenable disease. 30-day mortality in both PTE and BPA was 0%. 1- and 3-year survival was 99% and 96% for PTE, 100% and 93% for BPA, 79% and 79% for medical management. Patients who underwent PTE had the best hemodynamic response (∆PVR: PTE -278.8 ± 366.9 dyne/sec/cm
