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

Non-thrombotic pulmonary embolism (NTPE) is a diverse and under recognized condition caused by various non-thrombotic emboli in the pulmonary artery circulation. The embolic agents, which may include biological, infectious, foreign, or particulate materials, originate from trauma, medical procedures, malignancies, infections, or foreign body migration. Due to its frequently nonspecific clinical manifestations and variable radiologic findings, NTPE presents a major diagnostic challenge. As NTPE can lead to severe complications, early recognition and accurate diagnosis are critical for appropriate management. By integrating recent literature, radiologic findings, and illustrative case examples, this review provides valuable insights into the diagnostic approach and imaging features of NTPE, contributing to improved awareness and clinical decision-making.
