Sex differences in presentation, management, and outcomes among patients hospitalized with acute pulmonary embolism.
Article in Vascular medicine (London, England), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
While the presence of gender disparities in cardiovascular disease have been described, there is a paucity of data regarding the impact of sex in acute pulmonary embolism (PE). We identified all patients admitted to a tertiary care hospital with acute PE between August 1, 2012 through July 1, 2018. We stratified the presenting characteristics, management, and outcomes between women and men. Of the 2031 patients admitted with acute PE, 1081 (53.2%) were women. Women were more likely to present with dyspnea (59.8% vs 52.0%,
