Post-operative Saddle Pulmonary Embolism: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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 embolisms are serious complications that can arise from surgical procedures involving the extremities due to the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and subsequent embolism. This life-threatening condition occurs when an embolus lodges at the bifurcation of the main pulmonary arteries, compromising blood flow to the lungs. Treatment options for pulmonary embolism primarily include anticoagulation therapy, thrombolysis, thrombectomy, and inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement. Given that cases of saddle pulmonary embolism are rare but potentially fatal, healthcare providers must maintain a high index of suspicion and implement rigorous preventive measures to mitigate the risk in surgical patients.
