Computed tomography pulmonary angiography for acute pulmonary embolism: prediction of adverse outcomes and 90-day mortality in a single test.
Article in Polish journal of radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
purposePulmonary embolism (PE) is a potentially fatal cardiopulmonary disease; therefore, rapid risk stratification is necessary to make decisions of appropriate management strategies. The aim of this study was to assess various computed tomography (CT) findings in order to find new prognostic factors of adverse outcome and mortality. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe study enrolled 104 patients with acute PE. Based on their outcome, patients were categorised into four groups. Comorbidities such as ischaemic heart disease were obtained from their medical records. Patients CT angiography were reviewed for recording variables such as main pulmonary artery diameter and right ventricle (RV)/left ventricle (LV) ratio. Patient deaths up to three months since diagnosis of PE had been registered. Logistic regression analysis was performed to find predictors.
resultsBased on multiple logistic regression, RV/LV ratio, LV diameter, and right-sided pulmonary infarction are predictors of mortality in 30 days. An RV/LV ratio of 1.19 could successfully discriminate patients who died within 30 days and those who did not.
conclusionsRV/LV ratio, LV diameter, right-sided pulmonary infarction, assessed with helical CT, can help predict 30-day mortality.
