Clinical significance and management of subsegmental pulmonary embolism.
Review in Journal of thrombosis and thrombolysis, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
Computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) has a high sensitivity for diagnosing filling defects in subsegmental pulmonary arteries. The adoption of CTPA as the preferred diagnostic modality for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) has led to an increased rate of PE diagnosis. However, the case fatality rate is lower and the mortality rate of PE has remained unchanged despite this rise in PE diagnosis suggesting that the disease is of lesser severity. There continues to be clinical equipoise on whether patients diagnosed with isolated subsegmental PE (SSPE) require anticoagulation or can be managed conservatively if the presence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) has been excluded. Recent recommendations from the European Society of Cardiology suggest an individualized approach for the management of patients with newly diagnosed SSPE based on the risk/benefit ratio of anticoagulation and the presence of lower limb DVT. Prospective data evaluating the safety and efficacy of management strategies for SSPE is needed in order to determine the optimal management of these patients.
