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
backgroundPulmonary embolism (PE) is one of the most severe complications after thoracic surgeries. Thus it is of great importance to learn the characteristics of acute PE after thoracic surgeries. This study summarized the clinical characteristics and experience on the diagnosis and treatment of 37 patients with postoperative acute pulmonary embolism, in order to improve its prophylaxis and management level.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 37 patients with postoperative acute pulmonary embolism following thoracic surgeries. Age, gender, body mass index (BMI), diagnosis, surgical procedure, onset time, clinical presentation, diagnosis and management were comprehensively analyzed.
resultsThere were 16 males (43.2%) and 21 females (56.8%). The average age was (65.64±6.29) years (range from 53 years to 82 years) and 32 patients were over 60 years. BMI ranged from 17.1 kg/m² to 30.8 kg/m² with median of 26.3 kg/m². And 27 patients' BMI (73.0%) were over 25.0 kg/m². Thirty-four patients (91.9%) were with malignancies. Median presentation time was the 4th day postoperatively, while 11 patients were presented on the 3rd day postoperatively which accounted for the most. Patients with acute pulmonary embolism accounted for 77.8% from 9 am to 9 pm. D-dimer (D-D) ranged from 1.0 μg/mL-20.0 μg/mL (FEU) with median of (7.09±4.45) μg/mL (FEU) and 32 (86.5%) patients' D-D were over 3.00 μg/mL (FEU).
conclusionsThe survival rate of postoperative acute pulmonary embolism can be increased by fully understanding its clinical characteristics, early diagnosis and multiple disciplinary treatment.
