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

Background: Mechanical thrombectomy has become a first-line adjunctive therapy for anticoagulation in patients with acute intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE). This prospective study evaluated the safety and efficacy of percutaneous mechanical aspiration thrombectomy with autologous blood reinfusion using the next-generation AVENTUS Thrombectomy System (Inquis Medical) in subjects with acute intermediate-risk PE. Methods: Subjects with acute intermediate-risk PE with symptoms ≤14 days were enrolled in this prospective, multicenter, single-arm study. Primary efficacy (defined as the change in the right ventricle to left ventricle [RV/LV] ratio from baseline) and safety defined as a composite rate of device-related major adverse events were both assessed at 48 hours postprocedure. Six-minute walk distance and quality of life were assessed at 30 days. Results: A total of 120 subjects were enrolled at 22 US sites. As compared to the baseline, the 48-hour RV/LV diameter ratio dropped significantly (0.47 ± 0.36; Conclusions: This study confirms that thrombectomy and autologous blood reinfusion with the AVENTUS Thrombectomy System is a safe and effective primary treatment option in patients with acute intermediate-risk PE to improve RV function and reduce clot burden with minimal blood loss.
