Association Between ABO Blood Type and Risk of Pulmonary Embolism: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Clinical and applied thrombosis/hemostasis : official journal of the International Academy of Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis. 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
Previous studies have identified ABO blood type as a risk factor for venous thromboembolism. However, the association between ABO blood type and pulmonary embolism (PE) has not yet been explored. The PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science databases were searched from inception to May 2025. Case-control/cross-sectional and cohort studies focusing on the effect of ABO blood type on PE were evaluated. Nine eligible studies were included for meta-analysis. The pooled risk of PE was 1.45 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.23-1.72, I
