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

There is mounting evidence that COVID-19 patients may possess a hypercoagulable profile that increases their risk for thromboembolic complications, including pulmonary embolism (PE). PE has been associated with an increase in morbidity, mortality, prolonged ventilation, and extended ICU admissions. Intervention is warranted in some patients who develop acute massive and submassive PEs. However, the development of PE in COVID-19 patients is often complicated by such factors as delay of diagnosis, confounding medical conditions, and strict isolation precautions. In addition, depleted cardiopulmonary reserve and prone positioning can make management of PE in these patients especially challenging for the physician. In this article, we review current understanding of PE in COVID-19 patients, summarize consensus data regarding the treatment of PE, and propose an algorithm to guide the management of COVID-19 patients with PE.
