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

Acute pulmonary embolism can range from being completely asymptomatic to causing life-threatening events, which underscores the importance of effective risk stratification. Intermediate-risk patients represent a distinct subgroup characterized by specific clinical, laboratory, and imaging features. Although the majority have favorable outcomes, a significant proportion may still experience adverse events, presenting an ongoing challenge in determining the optimal therapeutic approach. This comprehensive review explores the characteristics of intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism patients, focusing on key diagnostic and prognostic factors, current treatment practices, and the evolving role of novel, specifically catheter-directed interventions. We also provide an overview of current guideline recommendations and discuss recent advancements in the field.
