Gender disparity in clinical and management outcomes in patients with pulmonary embolism: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Gender may contribute significantly to the variation in prognostic aspects and outcomes in various clinical conditions. We reviewed original studies to determine the impact of gender on the clinical outcomes in patients with pulmonary embolism. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis synthesizing observational studies was conducted by systematically searching PubMed, Web of Science, SCOPUS, and Cochrane through April 12, 2023. We reported dichotomous outcomes using risk ratio (RR) and the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: We included 18 studies with a total of 1,339,937 patients. There was no difference between men and women for all-cause mortality (RR: 0.99; 95% CI [0.89, 1.10]; Conclusion: There was no difference between men and women for the clinical outcomes and management of PE. However, women undergoing treatment for pulmonary thromboembolic disease had a significantly higher risk of major bleeding and longer length of stay compared to men. Further research is required to investigate the reasons behind these differences and assess their potential impact on patient management and prognosis.
