Acute Pulmonary Embolism Presenting With Angina and a Positive Cardiac Stress Test.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a commonly missed clinical entity. Prompt diagnosis of PE and the initiation of anticoagulation therapy is vital for the reduction of patient mortality. Recognizing initial electrocardiogram manifestations can aid rapid diagnosis and prompt management. The most common EKG findings associated with PE are sinus tachycardia, S1Q3T3 pattern, presence of T wave inversions in V1-V3 associated with the presence of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction, and right bundle branch block. These findings, while specific, are modestly sensitive and not always present. The gold standard of diagnosis is computerized tomographic angiography and ventilation and perfusion (V/Q). Here we present a patient who presented with symptoms mimicking angina with EKG changes in his stress test, prompting coronary angiography, which showed obstructive coronary artery disease requiring revascularization. Subsequently, further evaluation revealed a saddle pulmonary embolism that necessitated pulmonary thrombectomy.
