Pulmonary embolism causing atrial fibrillation with slow ventricular response: a case report.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 a fatal condition, with a subsequent variety of complications. Although rare, the ensuing presentation of atrial fibrillation (AF) secondary to PE is evident in the literature. However, there has been no report of AF with slow ventricular response requiring a pacemaker as a complication of PE. CASE PRESENTATION: A 78-year-old obese female presented to the emergency room with new onset dyspnea. Computed tomography pulmonary angiogram revealed bilateral PE. Twenty-four hours later, the patient developed new onset AF with slow ventricular response. Therefore, a single chamber pacemaker was implanted.
conclusionPE causing AF with slow ventricular response has not been reported or explained in the literature. The mechanism of this complication is yet to be understood and will require further investigation to explain this newly presented relationship.
