Initial Experience of Multipurpose Mechanical Aspiration System for Acute High-Risk Pulmonary Embolism: A Prospective Multi-Center Case Series.

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.
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
High-risk acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is associated with significant in-hospital mortality. Large-Bore Mechanical Thrombectomy (LBMT) is a treatment option for acute PE, but data on its efficacy in high-risk PE was limited. This prospective case series reported the outcomes of 14 patients with high-risk PE treated using a novel multipurpose mechanical aspiration system (MMAS). Most patients were in hemodynamic decompensation, requiring inotropic or mechanical circulatory support. The mean procedural time was 73.5 ± 39.2 min. Complete procedural success was achieved in 78.6% of the cases, while two patients required bailout therapies. The mean pulmonary arterial pressure decreased by 27.2%, and the right-ventricle/left-ventricle ratio normalized in 85.7% of patients. The primary endpoint-in-hospital mortality-was 0%, while the major bleeding rate was 27.2%. These findings suggest that MMAS is a safe and effective intervention for acute high-risk PE.
