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

Pulmonary embolism (PE) presents with a wide range of symptoms, including shortness of breath, dyspnea, palpitations, chest tightness, chest pain, cough, restlessness, and syncope, which can often lead to misdiagnosis. We report a case of an 82-year-old patient who primarily complained of fatigue and was ultimately diagnosed with PE through computed tomography pulmonary angiography. After initiating anticoagulant therapy, the patient's fatigue significantly improved. This case highlights the importance of actively investigating the underlying cause of fatigue in elderly patients and raises awareness of pulmonary diseases as potential contributors. PE should be considered an important differential diagnosis in such cases.
