Intervention in Massive Pulmonary Embolus: Catheter Thrombectomy/Thromboaspiration versus Systemic Lysis versus Surgical Thrombectomy.
Review in Seminars in interventional radiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Massive pulmonary embolus (PE), defined as hemodynamic shock from acute PE, is a life-threatening condition. Deaths from massive PE, especially when unsuspected, occur within minutes to hours of onset and as such prompt intervention can be lifesaving. Acute massive PE patients have traditionally been candidates for treatment with intravenous systemic thrombolysis to improve pulmonary artery pressure, arteriovenous oxygenation, and pulmonary perfusion in an effort to reduce mortality. However, patients with contraindications to systemic thrombolysis or those who have failed thrombolysis may benefit from other techniques including endovascular and surgical embolectomy. This article will review the current medical management as well as catheter-directed therapies and surgical embolectomy in the treatment of patients with massive PE.
