Pulmonary tumor embolism in a maintenance hemodialysis patient with hepatocellular carcinoma.
Article in CEN case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Patients with chronic kidney disease are already at an increased risk for pulmonary embolism, since loss of renal function rendered a procoagulant state. Further, malignant tumor is a well-established risk factor for pulmonary thromboembolism. Alternatively, occlusion of the pulmonary vasculature by tumor cells per se and associated thrombi may mimic thromboembolic disease. By comparison, however, report of pulmonary tumor embolism (PTE) in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) is exceedingly rare. A less vigilant clinician may have otherwise treated this situation as fluid overload or thromboembolic disorder. We herein described in an MHD patient such an unusual case of PTE, which was diagnosed by contrast-enhanced CT and PET/CT. As such, our work may expand the knowledge reserve of dialysis staffs about this rare complication of malignancy.
