The Burden of Prior Authorizations for Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension Medications: A Quantitative Assessment.
Article in Pulmonary circulation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 study quantified prior authorization (PA)-insurance-required approval-burden for pediatric pulmonary hypertension (PH) at an accredited center. Among 53 patients, 72% of 283 prescriptions between 2021 and 2023 required PA, with non-FDA-approved medications showing highest volume. Despite 97% approval and all patients ultimately obtaining medication, delays (mean 4.2 days), repeat requests (39%), and reliance on patient assistance programs created significant administrative burden. Results highlight the need for policy reform to ensure timely, equitable access to essential therapies.
