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

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common, life threatening cardiovascular emergency. Risk stratification is one of the core principles of acute PE management and determines the choice of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. In routine clinical practice, clinicians rely on the patient's electronic health record (EHR) to provide a context for their medical imaging interpretation. Most deep learning models for radiology applications only consider pixel-value information without the clinical context. Only a few integrate both clinical and imaging data. In this work, we develop and compare multimodal fusion models that can utilize multimodal data by combining both volumetric pixel data and clinical patient data for automatic risk stratification of PE. Our best performing model is an intermediate fusion model that incorporates both bilinear attention and TabNet, and can be trained in an end-to-end manner. The results show that multimodality boosts performance by up to 14% with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.96 for assessing PE severity, with a sensitivity of 90% and specificity of 94%, thus pointing to the value of using multimodal data to automatically assess PE severity.
