The impact of incidental pulmonary cement embolism on mortality risk.
Trial report in Journal of thrombosis and thrombolysis, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
The prognosis of pulmonary cement embolism found incidentally on chest radiography after vertebroplasty has been rarely investigated. This study was performed to elucidate the impact of incidentally found pulmonary cement embolism on all-cause mortality. Patients with pulmonary cement embolism diagnosed using chest radiography between 2008 and 2014 at one tertiary referral hospital were included. Their mortality risk was compared to that of randomly selected, age-, sex-, and year-matched patients without pulmonary cement embolism (ratio, 1:10) by using Kaplan-Meier estimates and covariate-adjusted Cox proportional regression analysis. The study included 11 patients with pulmonary cement embolism and 110 patients without pulmonary cement embolism. The patients showed no significant intergroup differences in baseline characteristics, except comorbid heart failure. During a mean follow-up duration of 1.7 ± 1.6 years, five patients (45.5%) with pulmonary cement embolism and 60 (50.0%) without pulmonary cement embolism died, mostly because of underlying malignancy. Although the patients with pulmonary cement embolism were not treated, they did not show a higher mortality risk than did those without pulmonary cement embolism (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.10; 95% confidence interval, 0.43-2.85). Subgroup analyses showed similar results. Incidentally found pulmonary cement embolism had no significant impact on all-cause mortality.
