Presenting Clinicoradiological Features, Microbiological Spectrum and Outcomes Among Patients with Septic Pulmonary Embolism: A Three-Year Retrospective Observational Study.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2022. 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
Background: Septic pulmonary embolism (SPE) is an unusual condition characterized by the implantation of infected thrombi into the pulmonary vasculature from a variety of infectious sources. This study aimed to illustrate the clinicoradiological features, microbiological spectrum, and clinical course of patients with SPE, as well as to promote the early identification, diagnosis, and prognosis of this unusual disease. Methods: Nineteen patients with SPE collected from the electronic medical records of our hospital were retrospectively reviewed during three years. Results: The study included twelve men and seven women with a mean age of 49 (15-78). The most common presenting features were fever (79%) and shortness of breath (73.7%). Chronic kidney disease (68.4%) and diabetes (36.8%) were the most common comorbidities. The most common source of infection was venous catheters (58%). Conclusion: The study's findings presented that altered mental status and low oxygen saturation are associated with a high mortality rate in SPE patients, especially those requiring critical care. Early diagnosis of an embolic phenomenon to other organ systems like the central nervous system can greatly influence the patient's outcome.
