Prevalence of perioperative pulmonary embolism in patients with renal cell carcinoma undergoing nephrectomy.

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 study aims to determine the prevalence of perioperative PE and outcomes in patients with RCC scheduled for nephrectomy. A total of 418 patients were included in this single-center, observational study. Three hundred patients with RCC were retrospectively reviewed between 2016 and 2020, and the remaining patients were prospectively collected between 2020 and 2022 to minimize the effect of the long-time span. Patients with incomplete medical data and those who refused to participate were excluded. The primary outcome was the prevalence of perioperative PE. Secondary outcomes were associated factors, method of PE prophylaxis, rate of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) utilization, and 30-day mortality. The prevalence of perioperative PE was 1.9 % and most commonly occurred during the postoperative period (75 %). The prevalence rose to 7.5 % in patients with tumor thrombus. Significant factors related to PE included smoking (OR 6.78, 95 % CI 1.13-40.56) and change in tumor thrombus stage (OR 21.55, 95 % CI 3.69-125.71). There was no difference in the rate or method of PE prophylaxis between the two groups. Of the patients, 2.9 % underwent intraoperative TEE monitoring and 0.2 % received rescue TEE. Pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome were significantly correlated with PE (
