Role of echocardiography in acute pulmonary embolism.
Review in The Korean journal of internal medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 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
Although pulmonary embolism (PE)-related mortality rate has decreased because of prompt diagnosis and effective therapy use, acute PE remains a potentially lethal disease. Due to its increasing prevalence, clinicians should pay attention to diagnosing and managing patients with acute PE. Echocardiography is the most commonly used method for diagnosing and managing acute PE; it also provides clues about hemodynamic instability in an emergency situation. It has been validated in the early risk stratification and impacts management strategies for treating acute PE. In hemodynamically unstable patients with acute PE, echocardiographic detection of right ventricular dysfunction is an indication for administering thrombolytics. In this review article, we discuss the role of echocardiography in the diagnosis and management of patients with acute PE.
