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

purposeTo present a single-centre experience with endovascular treatment of patients with severe symptoms secondary to acute pulmonary embolism (PE). MATERIAL AND

methodsTwenty-five patients were treated due to contraindications or deficient effects of systemic thrombolytic therapy. The patients were treated with a combination of fragmentation and aspiration, only aspiration, or only fragmentation, and with catheter-directed thrombolytic therapy.

resultsThe saturation was improved following treatment in all patients, except in one where the procedure could not be completed. There were no immediate or late procedure-related complications.

conclusionsEndovascular treatment of severe PE is a safe and efficient option in patients with failing effect or contraindication to systemic thrombolysis.
