Prevalence of pulmonary thromboembolism in nephrotic syndrome patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This study was aimed to assess the prevalence of pulmonary thromboembolism in patients with nephrotic syndrome. An electronic search was conducted through nine electronic databases for selection of relevant articles reporting the prevalence of pulmonary thromboembolism in patients with nephrotic syndrome. National Institute of Health was used to assess the quality of each study. Meta-analysis was used to pool the results. Of total 2267 reports screened, we finally included 11 studies including five retrospective cohorts, four prospective cohorts, and two case series studies. Out of these, ten articles were eligible for meta-analysis. The overall prevalence was 7.93% with 95% CI of 4.27 to 14.73. However, a significant heterogeneity (
