CT pulmonary arteriogram diagnosis of macroscopic fat embolism to the lung.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Pulmonary fat embolism (PFE) is a recognised complication of long bone fractures. The majority of cases represent microscopic embolism and are not detectable at CT pulmonary arteriography (CTPA). CT can be used to detect macroscopic fat based on Hounsfield attenuation. This case describes a case of macroscopic fat embolism to the pulmonary arteries which was confidently diagnosed at CTPA. Distinction from thromboembolism is important as treatment is supportive and may avoid risks of anticoagulation.
