Clinical Profile and Outcomes of Pulmonary Embolism in Central Iran: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Archives of Iranian medicine, 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
backgroundPulmonary embolism (PE) is a significant public health concern. This retrospective cohort study examines the clinical profiles and outcomes of patients diagnosed with PE at a medical center in central Iran, aiming to identify mortality predictors during hospitalization and follow-up.
methodsData from 109 patients diagnosed with PE were analyzed, with a median follow-up of 23 months. The collected information included demographic and clinical characteristics, laboratory findings, treatment protocols, and outcomes. Logistic regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were used to identify independent mortality predictors and assess survival impact.
resultsThe mean age was 59.2 years (±19.7), with 51.4% male. Common symptoms included dyspnea (86%) and chest pain (53%), with non-massive PE being the most prevalent (63%). Independent mortality predictors identified were age (odds ratio [OR] 1.065 per year,
conclusionIn this cohort, age, sex, and PE severity were significant mortality predictors, while provoked PE, advanced age, and comorbidities were associated with lower mid-term survival probabilities.
