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

Pulmonary embolism is the third commonest cause of cardiovascular death globally. The majority of such patients present with low-risk features and can be managed with simple anticoagulation; however, a large group of patients exhibit evidence of right ventricular dysfunction on echocardiography or CT at the time of presentation and these patients are at risk of early haemodynamic compromise, particularly in those with abnormal cardiac biomarkers. Catheter-directed thrombolysis has been proposed as a treatment-strategy for patients with pulmonary embolism with evidence of acute right ventricular dysfunction. We review the current technologies in mainstream use, the evidence base in support of their use and discuss future research requirements in this area.
