Fulminant pulmonary embolism with fatal outcome in a patient with low clinical prediction scores.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We present a case of a 72-year-old man with submassive acute pulmonary thromboembolism. Pulmonary embolism severity index Score and common clinical risk stratification recommended systemic anticoagulation and a clinical course without complications was expected. A primary reperfusion strategy was not indicated by the current guidelines. Under established anticoagulation, the patient was found in cardiac arrest immediately after mobilisation from the bed the next morning. Right heart catheterisation under ongoing resuscitation revealed a complete obstruction of the right pulmonary artery by a big thrombus. Catheter-directed intervention trying to bypass the thrombus with interventional guidewires failed. Ultimately, the patient died from acute right heart failure. The current case raises concern that the prediction scores available for pulmonary embolism may insufficiently predict short-term outcome in isolated patients.
