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

Venous thromboembolism is a common disease which remains underdiagnosed because of nonspecific presentations which can range from asymptomatic incidental imaging findings to sudden death. Symptoms can overlap with comorbid cardiopulmonary disease, and risk factors that offer clues to the clinician are not always present. The diagnostic approach can vary depending on the specific clinical presentation, but ruling in the diagnosis nearly always depends on lung imaging. Overuse of diagnostic testing is another recognized problem; a cautious, evidence-based approach is required, although physician gestalt must be acknowledged. The following review offers an approach to the diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism based on the assessment of symptoms, signs, risk factors, laboratory findings, and imaging studies.
