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

Right heart thrombus (RHT) is a rare but life-threatening condition in acute pulmonary embolism (APE) without clear management guidelines. This study aimed to address the clinical characteristics and outcomes of RHT-APE in Chinese patients. In this study, 17 RHT-APE and 329 non-RHT-APE patients, who were diagnosed between September 2015 and August 2019, were retrospectively recruited with the median follow-up was 360 days. The overall prevalence of RHT was 4.91% in APE. Its prevalence increased along the increase of APE risk stratifications. Comparisons showed that with higher proportion of male gender and younger age, RHT-APE patients also had worse hemodynamic instability and heart function, and higher risk stratification levels than non-RHT-APE patients. After adjusting by age and gender, multivariate logistic regression analysis found high/intermediate-high risk stratification, decreased right ventricular (RV) motion, NT-proBNP >600 pg/mL, and RV dysfunction were risk factors for RHT. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed non-RHT had better prognosis than RHT patients (30-day survival: log-rank:
