Social determinants of health in pulmonary embolism management and outcome in hospitals: Insights from the United States nationwide inpatient sample.
Article in Research and practice in thrombosis and haemostasis, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
Background: The role of social determinants in the treatment and course of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is understudied. Objective: To investigate the association between social determinants of health with in-hospital management and early clinical outcomes following acute PE. Methods: We identified hospitalizations of adults with acute PE discharge diagnosis from the nationwide inpatient sample (2016-2018). Multivariable regression was used to investigate the association between race/ethnicity, type of expected primary payer, and income with the use of advanced PE therapies (thrombolysis, catheter-directed treatment, surgical embolectomy, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation), length of stay, hospitalization charges, and in-hospital death. Results: A total of 1,124,204 hospitalizations with a PE diagnosis were estimated from the 2016-2018 nationwide inpatient sample, corresponding to a hospitalization rate of 14.9/10,000 adult persons-year. The use of advanced therapies was lower in Black and Asian/Pacific Islander (vs. White patients: adjusted odds ratio [OR Conclusion: We observed inequalities in advanced therapies used for acute PE and higher in-hospital mortality in races other than White. Low socioeconomic status was also associated with lesser use of advanced treatment modalities and greater in-hospital mortality. Future studies should further explore and consider the long-term impact of social inequities in PE management.
