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.

Abstract

This study investigated whether pediatric patients with a prior pulmonary embolism (PE) are more likely to have a diagnosis of dyspnea compared with those who have not had a PE. We obtained de-identified data from TriNetX, using both UT Southwestern (UTSW) and Research Networks, and identified patients aged 8-21 years with a diagnosis of PE (ICD-10-CM I26) and dyspnea (ICD-10-CM R06.0). Patients with a PE diagnosis had a significantly higher risk for a diagnosis of dyspnea. This relationship was observed in both the UTSW Network (OR 4.57 [95 % CI 2.82-7.43]; p < 0.0001) and Research Network (OR 6.57 [95 % CI 5.65-7.65]; p < 0.0001). Moreover, the risk of having a dyspnea diagnosis was significantly higher for females compared with males with a PE diagnosis in Research Networks (p < 0.0001). These findings have significant clinical implications, suggesting that clinicians should consider prior PE as an independent risk factor for diagnosis of dyspnea in pediatric patients after excluding other possible contributing factors.
