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

introductionManagement of clot in transit in patients with pulmonary embolism, who are candidates for percutaneous intervention, can be challenging. This is a case report of simultaneous right atrial mechanical thrombectomy under echocardiography guidance and pulmonary artery embolectomy under fluoroscopy guidance, using the recently introduced FlowTriever system (Inari Medical Inc., Irvine, CA, USA). REPORT: An 88 year old female, resuscitated from cardiopulmonary arrest near the end of a total right hip arthroplasty, presented for management of suspected massive pulmonary embolism. Her right atrial thrombus was removed under transthoracic echocardiography guidance, and her pulmonary arterial thrombus was subsequently successfully treated under fluoroscopy. DISCUSSION: The FlowTriever system can be safely and effectively used under real time transthoracic echocardiography guidance to retrieve clot in transit from the cardiac chambers, in addition to its standard application for the pulmonary artery under fluoroscopy guidance.
