Acute Pulmonary Embolism–Its Diagnosis and Treatment From a Multidisciplinary Viewpoint.
Review in Deutsches Arzteblatt international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
backgroundPhysicians from many different specialties see patients suffering from acute pulmonary embolism (PE), which has an incidence of 39-115 cases per 100 000 persons per year. Because PE can be life-threatening, a rapid, targeted response is essential.
methodsThis review is based on pertinent publications retrieved by a selective literature search of international databases, with particular attention to current guidelines and expert opinions.
resultsWhenever PE is suspected, clinical assessment tools must be applied for risk stratification and diagnostic evaluation. The PERC (Pulmonary Embolism Rule-out Criteria) and the YEARS algorithm lead to more effective diagnosis. For hemodynamically unstable patients, bedside echocardiography is of high value and enables risk stratification. New oral anticoagulants have fewer hemorrhagic complications than vitamin K antagonists and are not inferior to them with respect to the risk of recurrent PE (hazard ratio 0.84-1.09). The duration of anticoagulation is set according to the risk of recurrence. Systemic thrombolysis is recommended for patients with a high-risk PE, in whom it significantly reduces mortality (odds ratio 0.53, number needed to treat 59). Surgical or interventional techniques can be considered if thrombolysis is contraindicated or unsuccessful.
conclusionNewly introduced diagnostic aids and algorithms simplify the diagnosis and treatment of acute PE while continuing to assure a high degree of patient safety.
