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 heart catheterization defines pulmonary hypertension (PH) hemodynamics, but simple markers of pulmonary vascular load remain useful. Inferior-lead T-wave inversion (TWI) is seen in right ventricular pressure overload; its association with pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and prognosis is uncertain. We retrospectively studied a cohort of 98 patients who underwent electrocardiography (ECG), echocardiography, and right heart catheterization within 48 h from 2021 to 2023. Inferior TWI amplitudes in leads II, III, and aVF were measured as absolute values and summed. Associations with PVR, performance for PVR > 5 Wood units, and all-cause mortality were evaluated. Twenty-five patients (26%) had PVR > 5 Wood units. The inferior TWI sum correlated with PVR (
