Post-traumatic pulmonary embolism in the setting of cough-variant asthma.
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
Post-traumatic pulmonary embolism (PE) poses diagnostic complexities, especially with underlying lung pathologies and delayed symptoms. We report a 43-year-old male who presented with cough, frothy sputum, and dyspnea following blunt chest trauma 2 weeks ago. Due to a history of asthma, an asthma exacerbation was suspected but he failed to respond to bronchodilator therapy. Doppler USG (ultrasonography) was negative for deep venous thrombi, however, elevated D-dimer levels prompted further investigation with computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA), confirming the diagnosis of PE. Prompt initiation of anticoagulation and thrombolysis resulted in clinical improvement. This case underscores the need to rule out posttraumatic PE, irrespective of age, type of, or time since injury, and underlying lung disease, to ensure timely diagnosis and intervention.
