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

backgroundData regarding clinical and radiological features of patients with pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) and concomitant chronic respiratory disease (CRD) are limited. Accordingly, the aim of the present study was to investigate clinico-radiological features of this patient population.

methodsPatients with PTE were retrospectively classified into one of two groups: those with and without CRD. Clinical characteristics, blood biomarkers, and computed tomographic (CT) findings were compared between the groups.

resultsOf 1,207 PTE patients included, CRD was detected in 128 (11%). The most common CRD was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [41 (32%)], followed by bronchial anthracofibrosis [32 (25%)]. In multivariate analysis, unprovoked PTE [odds ratio (OR) 1.99, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.29-3.05, P=0.002], dyspnea (OR 1.54, 95% CI: 1.11-2.34, P=0.041), lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) (OR 3.90, 95% CI: 2.13-7.14, P<0.001), Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI) class IV-V (OR 5.24, 95% CI: 3.43-8.00, P<0.001), in-situ pulmonary artery thrombosis (OR 10.62, 95% CI: 3.71-30.45, P<0.001), and pulmonary artery enlargement (OR 1.65, 95% CI: 3.71-30.45, P<0.001) were found to be independent clinical factors related to CRD in patients with PTE. CRD was an independent predictor of PTE-related in-hospital mortality (OR 3.96, 95% CI: 1.32-11.88, P=0.014).

conclusionsPatients with PTE and concomitant CRD were characterized by higher incidences of dyspnea, LRTI, PESI class IV-V, and
