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
backgroundIdiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) is driven by progressive vascular remodeling, particularly smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation. Current combination vasodilator therapies have markedly improved outcomes; however, prognosis remains poor in subgroups such as patients with respiratory comorbidities. Elevation of intravascular hydrostatic pressure is a hallmark of IPAH, yet its direct role in pulmonary artery SMCs remains unclear. We aimed to identify pressure-responsive mediators using a newly developed hydrostatic pressurization system to model hypertensive hemodynamics.
methodsPulmonary artery SMCs from 4 patients with IPAH were exposed to high hydrostatic pressure (70/40 mm Hg, 60 bpm). Transcriptomic profiling identified differentially expressed genes, which were validated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Functional studies included PIEZO1 (piezo type mechanosensitive ion channel component 1) modulation, rhSTC1 (recombinant human stanniocalcin-1) treatment, bromodeoxyuridine incorporation, and Western blotting for cell-cycle regulators. Chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension was assessed in wild-type and
