Prevalence and clinical significance of pleural effusion in patients with acute pulmonary embolism: a retrospective study.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundPleural effusion is observed in a subset of patients with acute pulmonary embolism (APE) and may be linked to clinical outcome, but findings from previous studies have been inconsistent. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and clinical significance of pleural effusion in Chinese patients with APE.
methodsClinical data from hospitalized patients with APE were retrospectively collected and the prevalence of pleural effusion was determined. The relationship between the presence of pleural effusion and clinical outcome of APE was analyzed by Cox proportional hazards regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.
resultsThe study enrolled 635 patients with APE. The prevalence of pleural effusion was 57.01% (362/635). Patients with pleural effusion had significantly higher in-hospital mortality (9.9%
conclusionsPleural effusion is a frequent occurrence in patients with APE and therefore merits greater attention from clinicians; however, it is not an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality.
