Association of race and in-hospital outcomes following acute pulmonary embolism: A retrospective cohort study.
Article in Clinical cardiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundRacial disparities in health care are well established, with Black patients frequently experiencing the most significant consequences of this inequality. Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is increasing in incidence and an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States, but little is known about racial disparities in the inpatient setting. HYPOTHESIS: Black and White patients admitted with acute PE will have different in-hospital outcomes.
methodsAll PE patients from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017 were retrospectively identified using ICD-10 codes. Data were abstracted by manual chart review for all image-confirmed PEs.
resultsA total of 782 patients with acute PE were identified, of which 319 (40.8%) were Black and 463 (59.2%) were White. Black patients had higher BMI (median [Q1-Q3]: 30.3 [25.4-36.6] vs. 29.3 [24.5-33.8] kg/m
conclusionsSimilar in-hospital mortality rates were observed in Black and White patients following acute PE. However, Black patients had longer hospital stays, higher warfarin prescription, and fewer traditional PE-related risk factors.
