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

backgroundAcute pulmonary embolism (APE) is a common condition with increasing worldwide incidence. However, the clinical characteristics, risk factors, and clinical outcomes of APE in the Asian population especially in the Thai population are still limited. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify the clinical characteristics, risk factors, and clinical outcomes of APE in the Asian population.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on patients diagnosed with APE at Chiang Mai University Hospital, Thailand during 2011-2020.

resultsDuring the study period, 696 patients confirmed the diagnosis of APE with a mean age of 57.7 ± 15.7 years and 41.1% males. APE was suspected in 468 of 696 patients (67.2%), while 228 patients (32.8%) had incidental PE. Active malignancy during treatment was found in 388 (55.7%). Dyspnea, cough, and chest pain were the most common presenting symptoms. Respiratory failure was found in 129 patients (18.6%). The thirty-day all-cause mortality rate was 19.1%. PE-related mortality was 5.6%. Most PE-related mortality was high-risk PE.

conclusionAPE was not uncommon in the Asian population. Active cancer, especially lung cancer was the most common risk factors. High-risk and intermediate-high-risk PE were associated with high mortality. Risk stratification and prompt management are warranted to improve outcomes.
