Pulmonary artery sarcoma: An important mimic of pulmonary embolism-Case reports and literature review.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2022. 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
Pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma (PAIS) is a rare malignancy which closely mimics acute or chronic pulmonary thromboembolism. There are clinical and radiological characteristics which may raise suspicion of this important differential diagnosis. These include disproportionately low d-dimer, troponin T or NT-proBNP, as well as characteristic findings on CT pulmonary angiography such as the 'wall eclipsing sign' and an non-dependent position of filling defects in the large arteries. Prompt diagnosis avoids inappropriate anticoagulation and facilitates early surgical management which may improve prognosis. There is emerging evidence of an effective treatment paradigm with surgical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy. We present two cases of PAIS diagnosed at a single centre within a 2-year period. We review the literature and demonstrate the features at presentation in our cases which were suggestive of the diagnosis.
