Clot-in-transit: A ticking time bomb in the heart with serious consequences.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Clot-in-transit is associated with severe pulmonary embolism and higher mortality than acute pulmonary embolism without clot-in-transit. The optimal treatment of clot-in-transit is not established. Multiple treatment options have been described, including anticoagulation alone, systemic thrombolysis, surgical embolectomy and endovascular catheter-based therapies. Clot-in-transit can embolize to the pulmonary circulation in a matter of seconds and be immediately fatal. We describe two cases of clot-in-transit which embolized quickly upon Intensivist's evaluation and were associated with serious consequences. Management decisions for clot-in-transit should be emergent and based on multidisciplinary discussion of the pulmonary embolism response team.
