Pulmonary thromboembolism: a case report and misdiagnosis analysis of a 63-year-old female patient.

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
This paper presents a case of a 63-year-old female patient who was initially misdiagnosed with mycoplasma pneumonia due to symptoms such as chest pain, hemoptysis, and fever, but was later confirmed to have pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) through further examination. This case highlights the similarities between PTE and pneumonia in terms of symptoms, as well as the complexity of PTE diagnosis. The article provides a detailed description of the patient's medical history, symptoms, examination process, and treatment outcomes. Furthermore, it discusses the possible reasons for the misdiagnosis, including insufficient awareness of PTE among physicians, lack of in-depth investigation into the causes of abnormally elevated D-dimer levels, the non-specific clinical manifestations of PTE, and the concerns of the patient's family regarding pulmonary artery CTA examination. Additionally, the article emphasizes the importance of clinicians in improving their ability to differentiate and diagnose PTE, rationally utilizing clinical examination methods, and ensuring timely diagnosis and treatment of PTE.
