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

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) refers to a disease condition with elevated mean pulmonary arterial pressure of more than 20 mm Hg. This may arise secondary to an underlying pathology involving the lungs, heart, or major vessels of the chest. Patients with PH can present with nonspecific cardiac or respiratory complaints. Although right heart catheterization is the gold standard for diagnosing PH, it is not always done or required and often, PH is diagnosed based on clinical suspicion and noninvasive tests such as echocardiography. Computed tomography (CT) scans play a vital role in diagnosing PH, detecting the severity of the disease, and discerning the etiological factors. A stepwise approach to review CT imaging of the thorax to aid in the diagnosis of PH and to look for the etiology and prognostic factors is described in this article.
