Review in Clinical medicine (London, England), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. It is linked to trial NCT05469724 (Clinical Characteristics and Outcome Registry in Patients Admitted With Acute Pulmonary Embolism), which is not on this map. Cited by 33 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

Pulmonary embolism, despite being common, often remains elusive as a diagnosis, and clinical suspicion needs to remain high when seeing a patient with cardiopulmonary symptoms. Once suspected, diagnosis is usually straightforward; however, optimal treatment can be difficult. Risk stratification with clinical scores, biomarkers and imaging helps to refine the best treatment strategy, but the position of thrombolysis in intermediate risk (submassive) pulmonary embolism remains a grey area. Pulmonary embolism response teams are on the increase to provide advice in such cases. Direct oral anticoagulants have been a major advance in treatment this decade, but are not appropriate for all patients. Follow-up of patients with pulmonary embolism should be mandatory to determine duration of anticoagulation and to assess for serious long-term complications.
