Thrombus in Transit: Key Echocardiography Findings in the ED.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A 32-year-old Asian male presented to the ED with a one-day history of mild pleuritic chest pain. He was diagnosed with an acute pulmonary embolus on CT Pulmonary Angiography (CT-PA). Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) performed at the bedside in the ED demonstrated evidence of right heart strain but, most notably, a highly mobile echogenic thrombus in the right atrium, consistent with a clot-in-transit (CIT). This was not visualized on CT due to the influx of contrast in the heart. Based on this, the patient was transferred to the High Dependency Unit for IV heparin and close monitoring. The following day, he underwent clot retrieval using an Inari Flowtriever under direct TTE guidance. He was discharged on oral anticoagulation four days later and experienced no complications on follow-up. CIT is an important feature of pulmonary embolus to identify, as it can escalate the risk stratification of the patient, and management will need to be altered accordingly.
