Massive Pulmonary Embolism Masked as Asthma Exacerbation.
Article in Cureus, 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
This case report presents the case of a 41-year-old Caucasian male with no significant past medical history who presented to the emergency department (ED) due to altered mental status. The patient used his brother's inhaler due to shortness of breath (SOB) and wheezing without any improvement. Later the patient was brought to the ED via Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and was intubated due to severe respiratory acidosis. Although the patient showed some features of pulmonary embolism (PE) on arrival to the ED, PE was not the first differential diagnosis. This case underscores the challenge of recognizing, diagnosing, and managing the early stages of PE in clinical practice, emphasizing the importance of quick recognition and appropriate treatment to improve patient outcomes.
