Case of intersurgical acute massive pulmonary embolism with successful thrombolysis therapy.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A 56-year-old man underwent surgery to repair an open left tibial fracture. At the end of the surgery, he exhibited haemodynamic instability requiring an increased epinephrine dose. The situation was life-threatening, and the patient was at risk for pulmonary thromboembolism. Although surgery is a contraindication to thrombolysis, we performed intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase and used a femoral tourniquet to decrease blood loss. Once the patient was haemodynamically stable, he was taken to the intensive care unit. The patient recovered and was discharged with a long-term anticoagulation plan. In conclusion, thrombolysis can successfully treat life-threatening pulmonary thromboembolism during the early postoperative period.
