Alcohol consumption and the risk of incident pulmonary embolism in US women and men.
Article in Journal of thrombosis and haemostasis : JTH, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Essentials The association of moderate alcohol consumption with pulmonary embolism (PE) risk remains unclear. In three large US cohorts, we evaluated the association of alcohol consumption with PE risk. We found no evidence of an association of alcohol consumption amount or frequency with PE risk. Secondary analyses of type and heavy episodic drinking also yielded null findings. SUMMARY: Background Moderate alcohol consumption has been variably associated with hemostatic and fibrinolytic factor levels, but the association between alcohol consumption and the risk of incident pulmonary embolism (PE) remains uncertain. Objective To evaluate alcohol consumption amount and frequency in relation to PE risk. Methods Nurses' Health Study (NHS), NHS II and Health Professionals Follow-Up Study participants free of venous thromboembolism (VTE) at baseline (n = 217 442) reported alcohol consumption by type, quantity and frequency, every 2-4 years. Incident PE cases were identified by self-report and confirmed for participants without cancer. In this cohort study, we used Cox proportional hazards models to estimate multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for PE associated with alcohol consumption amount and, separately, frequency. Secondary analyses evaluated alcohol type and heavy episodic drinking in relation to PE risk, and amount and frequency in relation to medical record-confirmed idiopathic PE and any self-reported VTE risk. Cohort-specific analyses were pooled using random-effects meta-analysis. Results During ≥ 20 years of follow-up, we identified 1939 PE events. We found no strong evidence of an association between PE risk and alcohol consumption amount (pooled HR
