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

Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe cardiopulmonary disorder characterized by progressive elevation of pulmonary vascular resistance, resulting to right ventricular dysfunction and premature mortality. Although genetic mutations are increasingly recognized in PAH pathogenesis, cases involving digenic mutations remain exceptionally rare. Case presentation: We report the case of a 47-year-old female presenting with a 5-year history of exertional dyspnea, which progressively worsened over the preceding 2 months. Diagnostic imaging revealed pulmonary artery dilatation and right heart enlargement, and right heart catheterization confirmed PAH with a mean pulmonary arterial pressure of 43 mmHg. Whole exome sequencing identified a novel heterozygous mutation in Conclusion: This case highlights a rare instance of PAH associated with digenic mutations in
