Suction thrombectomy for management of pulmonary tumor embolism in the setting of hepatocellular carcinoma with macrovascular invasion.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 tumor thrombi are rare but challenging to treat given the generally poor health of the patients in whom they occur and the low likelihood of the embolism to respond to anticoagulation. Management options include therapeutic anticoagulation and surgery, but the mortality rate is high in either case. Thus, in patients who are symptomatic, the decision about whether to intervene may be challenging. Here the authors present an alternative minimally invasive approach, illustrated in the case of a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma who developed intermediate-risk pulmonary tumor embolism that was successfully managed via suction embolectomy. Such treatment should be considered not just as a life-saving intervention but as a palliative one as well.
