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

(1) Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a severe complication of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), particularly in hospitalized patients. Data from Eastern Europe, including Romania, are limited, despite potential regional differences in demographics, comorbidities, and thromboprophylaxis practices. (2) Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 395 adults hospitalized with RT-PCR-confirmed COVID-19 at the "Victor Babeș" Clinical Hospital of Infectious Diseases and Pneumophthisiology, Timișoara, Romania, from September 2022 to December 2024. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and imaging data were extracted from medical records. PE was confirmed by computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA). Group comparisons used chi-square and
