Exercise-Induced Oxygen Desaturation and Heart Rate Response During 6-Min Walk Test Predict Pulmonary Hypertension in Exertional Dyspnea: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

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
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a life-threatening condition frequently associated with exertional dyspnea. It remains diagnostically challenging due to limitations in current screening modalities. While the 6-min walk test (6MWT) has been applied for risk stratification in confirmed PH, its potential role in screening remains unexplored. This retrospective cohort study investigated the diagnostic utility of 6MWT-derived parameters in 180 patients with exertional dyspnea. PH diagnosis was confirmed by right heart catheterization with the definition of mean pulmonary artery pressure > 20 mmHg. Among 79 PH patients (43.9%), a significantly reduced 6-min walk distance (6MWD) was observed compared to non-PH patients (469.5 ± 106.4 m vs. 509.8 ± 74.9 m,
