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

There is an underrepresentation of Hispanic patients in studies examining right ventricular (RV) function in acute pulmonary embolism (PE). Although the prognostic value of RV dysfunction in acute PE is well established, there is no generalized definition of RV dysfunction. In this study, our aim was to identify echocardiographic parameters that predict short-term mortality in Hispanic patients with intermediate-risk acute PE. This study aimed to determine clinical and echocardiographic predictors of mortality in Hispanic patients with intermediate-risk PE. We retrospectively studied a cohort of Hispanic patients with acute PE diagnosed on computed tomography angiography and classified as intermediate-risk based on either imaging findings or biomarker elevation. We identified 419 patients. The mean age was 58, and 53% were females. Forty (9.5%) patients died during the 30-day follow-up. Non-survivors had a higher Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI) score (101 ± 19.4,
