Importance of computed tomography pulmonary angiography for predict 30-day mortality in acute pulmonary embolism patients.
Article in European journal of radiology open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectiveThe purpose of the present study was to assess the implications of different parameters of computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) to predict 30-day mortality in acute pulmonary embolism (APE) patients. MATERIAL AND
methodPatients who had clinical suspicion of APE and underwent CTPA were recruited in a retrospective cohort study. The findings of the CTPA included the parameters of right ventricular dysfunction (RVD), the severity of obstruction to the pulmonary artery by CT obstruction index, and the ratio of pulmonary trunk diameter and aorta. The endpoint of the study was established as the 30-day mortality associated with APE.
resultsA total of 238 patients with a confirmed APE diagnosis with CTPA were included in the study; 26 (10.9 %) of those patients died within 30 days. In patients with cancer and the Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI) class 5, the mortality rate was significantly higher. Compared with survivors, the mean CT obstruction index in the non-survivor group was significantly higher (
conclusionCTPA-detected RVD parameters and CT obstruction index can predict a 30-day mortality rate in APE patients and be used for risk stratification. In APE patients, the RV diameter of 53 mm or greater and the CT obstruction index >70% is associated with increased 30-day mortality.
