Review in EuroIntervention : journal of EuroPCR in collaboration with the Working Group on Interventional Cardiology of the European Society of Cardiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

2 · The registry

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

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening condition characterised by occlusion of the pulmonary vasculature, with a global incidence of approximately 1 in 1,000 patients. While pharmacological therapy remains the cornerstone of PE management, selected patients may benefit from catheter-directed treatments due to their potential for rapid symptom relief and swift haemodynamic stabilisation. Catheter-directed thrombolysis and catheter-directed mechanical thrombectomy are current treatment options, though their availability is still limited. This review provides a practical outlook on catheter-directed therapies for PE, outlining optimal procedural planning, device selection, technical execution, evaluation of results, and management of complications.
