Diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension: a statement from the Brazilian Thoracic Association.
Review in Jornal brasileiro de pneumologia : publicacao oficial da Sociedade Brasileira de Pneumologia e Tisilogia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a condition that predominantly affects the pulmonary arterial bed, leading to pulmonary vascular remodeling, progressive decrease in pulmonary arterial compliance, and increase in pulmonary vascular resistance. The symptoms of PAH are nonspecific, which often contributes to diagnostic challenges and significant delays in establishing the diagnosis. The investigation of PAH is extensive and involves thorough search for potential clinical conditions that may contribute to its development, as well as the exclusion of other causes of pulmonary hypertension. The proper hemodynamic definition of PAH requires right heart catheterization (RHC) and direct measurements of mean pulmonary artery pressure, pulmonary arterial wedge pressure, cardiac output, and pulmonary vascular resistance. Additionally, RHC allows the assessment of the severity of the disease and, in selected cases, the identification of patients with a positive pulmonary vascular vasoreactivity test. RHC also provides valuable longitudinal information for risk stratification and patient follow-up. In the current manuscript, we review the PAH diagnostic workup, including a detailed review of the most up-to-date recommendations for right RHC and patient risk stratification.
