Thrombolysis and mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation for pulmonary embolism complicated by hepatic and splenic lacerations resulting in major haemorrhage.

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
Thrombolysis with prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation may be required for the successful resuscitation of patients presenting with massive pulmonary embolism leading to cardiac arrest. A rare, recognised complication of cardiopulmonary resuscitation is traumatic hepatic and splenic laceration. The incidence of complications is believed to be increased in those who receive automated mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation, compared to those who receive standard chest compressions. We present a case of a patient with massive pulmonary embolism leading to cardiac arrest which was successfully treated with thrombolysis and mechanical automated cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The patient suffered hepatic and splenic lacerations resulting in major haemorrhage. This required emergency resuscitation with blood products and splenic embolisation. This case highlights the importance of continual re-assessment of patients, the early recognition of complications and an awareness of the potential complications of treatments we deliver.
