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 tumor embolism (PTE) is a rare phenomenon typically presenting as dyspnea in cancer patients. Primary pathophysiology is similar to the thromboembolic disease of the pulmonary vasculature, which involves large vessels to small arterioles. This phenomenon occurs mostly in lung, stomach, liver, and breast adenocarcinoma. The symptoms of hypoxemia and the signs of hemodynamic instability and high-resolution computed tomography (CT) scans, along with a histopathological examination, are essential to make a confirmatory diagnosis of pulmonary tumor embolism. However, treatment options to effectively treat pulmonary tumor embolus are limited and still under investigation. We present a rare case of pulmonary tumor embolism in a patient with metastatic liver carcinoma and its management in a female with primary breast carcinoma.
