Utility of Bronchoscopy With Endobronchial Ultrasound in Diagnosis and Monitoring of Pulmonary Embolism.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common diagnosis made in the emergency department (ED). Although CT angiogram remains the preferred diagnostic modality, sometimes it is not possible to obtain due to hemodynamic instability, renal failure, pregnancy, etc. Bronchoscopy with endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) has been used for the evaluation of mediastinal and hilar lesions. The proximity of pulmonary vasculature to mediastinal and hilar structures can aid in utilizing EBUS for bedside diagnosis and future monitoring of pulmonary embolism. This case describes a patient who presented with cardiac arrest, likely secondary to a massive pulmonary embolism, and later underwent bronchoscopy with EBUS that demonstrated the pulmonary emboli.
