1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We report the case of a previously independent 82-year-old female who experienced acute hemodynamic and respiratory deterioration requiring inotropic support due to a fat embolism during revision hip arthroplasty. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography demonstrated fat embolism, and transesophageal echocardiogram showed evidence of right ventricle strain and fat embolism in-transit in the right heart, as well as a moderate patent foramen ovale. Under transesophageal echocardiogram and intravascular ultrasound guidance, the Inari FlowTriever thrombectomy device was used successfully to retrieve the fat embolism with immediate hemodynamic improvement, no complications, and uneventful recovery.
