Values of thoracic contrast-enhanced computed tomography in detecting incidental pulmonary thromboembolism in patients with malignant tumors.

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
This study aimed to evaluate the values of thoracic multi-slice spiral computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of incidental pulmonary thromboembolism (IPTE) in patients with malignant tumors. The clinical data and imaging features of a total of 1,684 patients with malignant tumors, treated in the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University, were analyzed retrospectively in order to investigate the types of malignancies, the patients' clinical features, and the emboli-preferred sites. Among the 1,684 patients, 60 patients had experienced IPTE (3.56%), 35 were females (58.33%), 25 were males (41.67%). Lung cancer had the highest incidence (n=22, 36.67%). The most common site of IPTE was the left lower lobe of pulmonary artery (n=46, 76.67%). The imaging results revealed that in 5 patients (8.33%) IPTE did not occur. Thoracic multi-slice spiral CT has a high detection rate of IPTE in patients with malignant tumors. Early diagnosis is helpful for early clinical treatment and has significant importance for patients' prognosis.
