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
purposeThis study aimed to examine the incidence, case fatality rate, and characteristics of perioperative symptomatic pulmonary thromboembolism (PS-PTE) throughout Japan.
methodsFrom 2002 to 2011, confidential questionnaires were mailed annually to all Japanese Society of Anesthesiologists-certified training hospitals for data collection to determine the incidence and case fatality rate of PS-PTE patients. Data from 10,537 institutions in which a total of 11,786,489 surgeries had been performed were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney and Chi-square tests.
resultsIn total, 3,667 PS-PTE cases were identified. The average incidence of PS-PTE was 3.1 (2.2-4.8) per 10,000 surgeries, and the average case fatality rate was 17.9% (12.9-28.8%). The incidence of PS-PTE began to significantly decrease in 2004 compared with that of 2002 (0.0036 vs. 0.0044%: p < 0.01). The case fatality rate temporarily increased toward 2005 (17.9 to 28.8%); however, it gradually decreased since 2008 (15.7%) and was the lowest (12.9%) in 2011. Regarding the trends in prophylaxis, the rate of mechanical prophylaxis increased significantly in 2003 compared with that of 2002 (59.5 vs. 35.0%: p < 0.01), and almost plateaued (73.1-83.1%) after 2004. Furthermore, the rate of pharmacological prophylaxis started increasing in 2008 (17.6%) and reached around 30% after 2009 (28.8-30.2%).
conclusionsThe results of our 10-year survey study show that the incidence of PS-PTE decreased significantly since 2004, and the case fatality rate seemed to show a downward trend since 2008. Major changes in the distribution of prophylaxis in PS-PTE patients were observed.
