1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Pulmonary embolism (PE) contributes substantially to the global disease burden. A key determinant of early adverse outcomes is the presence (and severity) of right ventricular dysfunction. Consequently, risk-adapted management strategies continue to evolve, tailoring acute treatment to the patients' clinical presentation, hemodynamic status, imaging and biochemical markers, and comorbidity. For subjects with hemodynamic instability or 'high-risk' PE, immediate systemic reperfusion treatment with intravenous thrombolysis is indicated; emerging approaches such as catheter-directed pharmacomechanical reperfusion might help to minimize the bleeding risk. Currently, direct, non-vitamin K-dependent oral anticoagulants are the mainstay of treatment for acute PE. They have been shown to simplify initial and extended anticoagulation regimens while reducing the bleeding risk compared to vitamin K antagonists. (This is a review article based on the invited lecture of the 37th Annual Meeting of Japanese Society of Phlebology.).
