Sex Differences Among Patients Treated With Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty for Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension.

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
Studies have shown sex differences in the outcomes of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and in patients who have undergone pulmonary endarterectomy. Limited data exist regarding outcomes of balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) for female versus male subjects. In this analysis cohort, a total of 767 sessions of BPA were performed on 144 patients of which 83 (58%) were female. There were no differences in age, body mass index and comorbidities between males and females. However, females had worse baseline functional class, higher median N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide and a shorter 6-min walk test. At baseline, males were more likely to be on pulmonary hypertension (PH) medical treatment before BPA (92% vs 76%,
