Nephrotic syndrome with acute pulmonary embolism in young adults: Two case reports.
Article in Medicine, 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
introductionPulmonary embolism (PE) is often misdiagnosed, or the diagnosis is delayed because of its diverse clinical manifestations, it may even remain asymptomatic until sudden death. Most risk factors are not associated with young people, and there is a paucity of literature regarding PE in children and young adults. CASE PRESENTATION: Patient 1 who died was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome more than 10 years before. He presented to a clinic with gradually worsening dyspnea, which was initially misdiagnosed as myocarditis. Patient 2 presented with sudden shortness of breath after treatment for nephrotic syndrome. His PE was quickly diagnosed, allowing prompt initiation of anticoagulant therapy. At follow-up 30 days after hospital discharge, his symptoms had disappeared, and his abnormal laboratory results had returned to almost normal.
conclusionThe diagnosis and treatment of the above 2 patients suggest that the possible occurrence of PE in a young person with nephrotic syndrome should not be ignored. The early diagnosis and delayed diagnosis will have different clinical outcomes.
