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

Right ventricular (RV) myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock presents complex management challenges. We present 3 cases illustrating a potential integrated approach combining pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPI) and RV-pulmonary artery coupling ratios (tricuspid annular systolic velocity/pulmonary artery systolic pressure, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion/pulmonary artery systolic pressure) for venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation decision-making. Case 1 (PAPI = 0.47) and case 2 (PAPI = 0.64) required venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation with successful weaning when PAPI exceeded 1.5. Case 3 (PAPI = 1.05) was managed conservatively. In case 2, inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) improved PAPI during weaning. In case 3, iNO caused paradoxical deterioration necessitating discontinuation. Based on these observations, we suggest that PAPI and coupling ratios provide complementary information: PAPI reflects hemodynamic reserve, whereas coupling ratios assess intrinsic RV function. Neither parameter alone is sufficient; integration of both guides clinical decisions. Prospective validation is needed. For iNO use without mechanical support, adequate left ventricular reserve is critical; PAPI decline mandates immediate discontinuation.
