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

The authors report a case of a 75-year-old male with pulmonary embolism (PE) successfully treated using the INARI FlowTriever System, a mechanical thrombectomy device. Imaging confirmed deep vein thrombosis and PE presented after two days of left lower extremity (LLE) pain and dyspnea on exertion with history of peripheral vascular disease, coronary artery disease, insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia and LLE percutaneous coronary intervention with coronary stent placement. PE treatment with single session clot burden reduction resulted in immediate improvement in oxygenation and echocardiogram confirmed relief of right heart strain. The patient's immediate hemodynamic improvement without thrombolytic therapy, which can take hours for morbidity reduction, supports the expansion of the use of thrombectomy devices for the treatment of submassive symptomatic PE in clinical practice, with further research indicated.
