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 embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis are two elements of the same pathophysiological process referred to as venous thromboembolism. PE occurs when a thrombus migrates from a deep vein to the pulmonary arteries. Although the true incidence of PE is not known, it is estimated that 530,000 cases of PE occur annually in the United States. Clinical presentation varies from asymptomatic (incidentally diagnosed) to fatal. Development of symptoms depends on the embolic burden and the severity of any underlying cardiopulmonary disease. Several treatment options are available for patients diagnosed with PE. The mainstay of treatment is anticoagulation, but given the high mortality associated with some presentations of symptomatic PE, some advocate more aggressive therapy. In this article we discuss such therapies and their potential and appropriate use.
