Saddle versus non-saddle pulmonary embolism: differences in the clinical, echocardiographic, and outcome characteristics.
Article in The Libyan journal of medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 central location, the size, and instability of saddle pulmonary embolism (PE) have raised considerable concerns regarding its hemodynamic consequences and the optimal management approach. Sparse and conflicting reports have addressed these concerns in the past. We aimed to evaluate the clinical presentation, hemodynamic and echocardiographic effects, as well as the outcomes of saddle PE, and compare the results with those of non-saddle type. This was a retrospective study of 432 adult patients with saddle and non-saddle PE. Overall, 432 patients were diagnosed with PE by computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA). Seventy-three (16.9%) had saddle PE, and 359 had non-saddle PE. Compared to those with non-saddle PE, patients with saddle PE presented more frequently with tachycardia (68.5% vs. 46.2%,
