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

We present a 4-year longitudinal follow-up of a previously reported case involving a 66-year-old man with renal cell carcinoma who underwent radical nephrectomy, complicated by a massive pulmonary artery tumor embolism treated with large-bore aspiration thrombectomy. Serial clinical evaluations and imaging over 4 years have shown no evidence of disease recurrence following the initial intervention. This case underscores the evolving role of emergent large-bore aspiration thrombectomy in oncologic settings, not only as a therapeutic intervention but also for its diagnostic utility in enabling histopathologic characterization and guiding oncologic management. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Large-bore aspiration thrombectomy may offer long-term disease control in cases of tumor pulmonary embolism. This procedure can aid diagnosis and inform oncologic treatment planning through tissue acquisition.
