Low DLCO Can Provide Insights into Treatment Response in PAH Patients Irrespective of the Reason for Its Decrease.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Group 1 of PAH patients encompasses patients with a diverse underlying etiological condition, having histological modifications that can affect gas exchange across the alveolar-capillary membrane, as reflected by decreased DLCO. Values of DLCO did not identify the exact reason for their decrease, but they can provide insights into the underlying pathobiology and prognosis of PAH patients. Our aim was to explore whether PAH patients with low DLCO constitute a different subpopulation and describe their characteristics and response to treatment. A total of 69 PAH patients were studied retrospectively and divided into two groups:
