Longer-Term Outcomes Following Mechanical Thrombectomy for Intermediate- and High-Risk Pulmonary Embolism: 6-Month FLASH Registry Results.
Article in Journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03761173 (FlowTriever All-Comer Registry for Patient Safety and Hemodynamics), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 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.

Abstract
Background: Mechanical thrombectomy provides rapid hemodynamic improvements after acute pulmonary embolism (PE), but long-term benefits are uncertain. Methods: FlowTriever All-comer Registry for Patient Safety and Hemodynamics is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter registry of patients with acute PE treated with the FlowTriever System (Inari Medical). Six-month outcomes including modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scores (MMRCD), right ventricular (RV) function, 6-minute walk test distances, and PE quality-of-life scores (QoL) were assessed. Results: In total, 799 patients were enrolled and 75% completed the study with a mean follow-up of 204 ± 46 days. Demographic characteristics included 54.1% men, mean age of 61.2 years, 77.1% intermediate-high-risk PE, and 8.0% high-risk PE. All-cause mortality was 4.6% at study completion. The proportion of patients with normal echocardiographic RV function increased from 15.1% at baseline to 95.1% at 6 months ( Conclusions: In this large diverse group of PE patients, 6-month all-cause mortality, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, and chronic thromboembolic disease were low following thrombectomy with the FlowTriever system. Significant improvements in RV function, patient symptoms, exercise capacity, and QoL were observed at 6 months, suggesting that rapid extraction of thrombus may prevent long-term sequelae in patients with PE.
