Submassive Pulmonary Embolism Treated With Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis in Resource-Limited Setting: A Case Report and Review of Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We describe a case of a young male who presented with acute onset progressively worsening shortness of breath for four days duration. He used to smoke cigarettes, and his profession required prolonged periods of standing. He underwent a two-dimensional echocardiogram showing right ventricular (RV) strain and computed tomography (CT) showing thrombus in the left major pulmonary artery. His pulmonary embolism severity index (PESI) score was high, predicting higher short-term mortality. Treatment options including risks and benefits were discussed with the patient, and he underwent catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) with rapid resolution of symptoms, oxygen saturation, and pulmonary artery pressures (PAP). He was discharged home safely after successful treatment of his condition.
