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

The management of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) has changed dramatically over the past two decades, with improved prognosis owing to the availability of pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA), balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) and approved medications. Recently, treatment strategies combining these options have been determined by a multidisciplinary team according to localisation, characteristics, haemodynamics and comorbidities. This review summarises recent advances in hybrid therapy, combining PEA and BPA as a treatment approach for CTEPH, and discusses future perspectives.
