Predicting Response to Switching From Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Inhibitor to Riociguat in Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Biomarker and Responder Analysis of the RESPITE and REPLACE Studies.
Article in Pulmonary circulation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This exploratory analysis assessed whether plasma biomarkers predict the response to switching from phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5is) to the soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator riociguat in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. Selected biomarkers at baseline and their changes to Week 24 were evaluated in patients with and without a favorable response to riociguat in two trials: RESPITE, in which patients with an inadequate response to PDE5i were switched to riociguat; and REPLACE, in which patients at intermediate risk of 1-year mortality despite a PDE5i were randomized to remain on PDE5i or were switched to riociguat. A response was defined as absence of clinical worsening and at least two of the following criteria: 6-min walk distance increase by 10% or ≥ 30 m, World Health Organization functional class I/II, or
