A rare incidence of acute pulmonary embolism following surgical fixation of bilateral upper extremity fractures - A case report.
Article in Trauma case reports, 2025. 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
Case: A 52-year-old male fell from his bike and sustained fractures of the right proximal humerus and the left distal radius, both of which were fixed in a single sitting a day after the injury. On postoperative day four, the patient developed features suggestive of acute pulmonary embolism. Conclusion: Reports of acute pulmonary embolism developing after surgical fixation of bilateral upper extremity fractures are rare. A high index of suspicion especially in patients with predisposing risk factors is essential to identify the signs of a thromboembolic event and initiate appropriate intervention.
