Zusammenfassung:A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to test candidate therapeutic approaches in pulmonary hypertension (PH). The efficacy of 522 interventions with >200 unregistered drugs was tested on 7254 animals. We propose a modified formula to assess meta-data that concerns the contribution of PH animal model to the denoted efficacy of tested agents. The measure of efficacy expressed as a response ratio for right ventricle systolic pressure was 0.48 (95% CI, 0.46–0.50; P
