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

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a form of pulmonary vascular disease characterized by scarring of the small blood vessels that results in reduced blood flow and increased blood pressure in the lungs. Over time, this increase in blood pressure causes damage to the heart. Idiopathic (IPAH) impacts male and female patients differently, with female patients showing a higher disease susceptibility (4:1 female-to-male ratio) but experiencing longer survival rates postdiagnosis compared to male patients. This complex sex dimorphism is known as the estrogen paradox. Prior studies suggest that estrogen signaling may be pathologic in the pulmonary vasculature and protective in the heart, yet the mechanisms underlying these sex differences in IPAH remain unclear. Many previous studies of PAH relied on male cells or cells of undisclosed origin for
