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

Submassive pulmonary embolism (PE) with right heart strain and right ventricle thrombus is a complex and potentially life-threatening condition. Prompt recognition and management are crucial to optimizing patient outcomes. We present the case of a 59-year-old male with a history of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and non-compliance with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy who presented with progressively worsening shortness of breath (SOB). Imaging studies revealed bilateral submassive PE with right heart strain and a thrombus in the right ventricle. Treatment included anticoagulation therapy and mechanical thrombectomy using the INARI FlowTriever device. This case highlights the importance of early recognition and risk factor assessment, such as using testosterone boosters, considering right ventricle thrombus as a complication of PE, and the role of mechanical thrombectomy in selected cases.
