1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

A 45-year-old man presented to the emergency department with fever, hypotension, respiratory distress, and altered mental status. Imaging revealed a femoral fracture and arterial blood gas showed severe metabolic acidosis. He died soon after admission. An autopsy revealed bone marrow particles in the lumen of numerous pulmonary arteries as well as fat emboli with admixed scattered hematopoietic cells in small vessels of the heart and liver. A clinical diagnosis of bone marrow embolism may be challenging due to its obscure presentation with possible multiorgan involvement. A definitive diagnosis is usually established postmortem with histopathological analysis of tissue collected during autopsy.
