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

backgroundThe optimal use of pharmaco-mechanical therapy is not clear in the management of the acute massive pulmonary thromboembolism.

methodsA 30-year-old postpartum female presented with acute massive pulmonary embolism and was managed with catheter mediated thrombus aspiration and fragmentation after the standard intravenous thrombolysis had failed. Thrombus was aspirated by 7F Mullins sheath with 50 cc aspiration syringe and was fragmented by TYSHAK II PTV balloon. This was followed by catheter directed thrombolysis.

resultsIntravenous thrombolysis was only partially successful whereas catheter mediated thrombus aspiration and fragmentation followed by catheter directed thrombolysis resulted in hemodynamic stabilization and early discharge from the hospital.

conclusionPharmaco-mechanical therapy is an effective therapy of acute massive pulmonary embolism and may be beneficial over the standard systemic thrombolysis.
