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

Background: Multimarker panels of blood-borne biomarkers could aid in shortening the diagnostic delay of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Research Question: Can any of the 61 proteins included in the study, related to pathways known to be involved in PAH pathophysiology (eg, coagulation, inflammation, fibrosis), differentiate PAH from other forms of pulmonary hypertension (PH) and/or dyspnea and thus aid in diagnosing PAH? Study Design and Methods: Plasma samples were collected from 55 healthy control participants and 355 patients at diagnosis, including PAH (n = 95), chronic thromboembolic PH (n = 54), heart failure with preserved ejection fraction with PH (n = 58), heart failure with reduced ejection fraction with PH (n = 64), a non-PH dyspnea control group with heart failure (n = 45), and an independent external PAH cohort (n = 39) used as external validation of protein levels in the PAH group of the discovery cohort. Plasma levels of the 61 proteins were analyzed using proximity extension assay. Results: ADAMTS13 plasma levels differed in patients with PAH compared with the 3 other PH groups and the non-PH dyspnea group ( Interpretation: Plasma ADAMTS13 may be a diagnostic biomarker in PAH with the ability to differentiate patients with PAH from other dyspnea groups and is an interesting protein for inclusion in future studies of multimarker panels. Further validation in larger cohorts is warranted.
