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
purposeIncidentally discovered pulmonary embolism is a prevalent clinical problem for cancer patients and contributes significantly to the burden of cancer-associated thrombosis. The aim of this study was to explore if outpatient management of incidental pulmonary embolism (iPE) in cancer patients is effective and can be conducted safely. METHODS/PATIENTS: We performed a prospective observational cohort study in a single Spanish tertiary hospital. Patients diagnosed with iPE and active cancer were enrolled. Between May 2016 and May 2017, 25 consecutive patients were included in the study.
resultsAll patients were assessed in the emergency room (ER) and started treatment with low-molecular weight heparins (LMWH) being discharged in the following 24 h. Congestive heart failure and right ventricular dysfunction were ruled out, and none of them presented massive PE, active bleeding or any disease-related reason that required hospitalization. The 90-day follow-up visit showed no venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence and the major bleeding rate was 4%. Mortality rate at 30 and 90 days was 0%.
conclusionsOutpatient management for iPE in cancer patients appears to be feasible and safe in selected cancer patients.
