Asymptomatic Pulmonary Embolus in a Patient With a Prior Heart Transplant.
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
Heart transplant patients have a significant risk for both deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). This report presents a case of asymptomatic PE in a 63-year-old male patient with a history of orthotropic heart transplant nine years prior. The patient initially presented to the Emergency Department with acute right lower extremity pain and was found to have an extensive DVT involving the femoral vein and extending into the deep veins of the right calf. The patient was admitted to the transplant cardiology inpatient service, managed with a heparin infusion, and eventually transitioned to a direct oral anticoagulant with apixaban and discharged on hospital day 2 without further complications. This case highlights the importance of recognizing the heightened risk of venous thromboembolism in heart transplant patients at any point in their post-transplant course, despite the lack of classic symptoms of PE.
