Modern Management of Massive Pulmonary Emboli and Concurrent Grade III Splenic Laceration.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPulmonary embolism (PE) is a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality. Active hemorrhage complicates management by limiting the use of thrombolytic therapy. CASE SUMMARY: A 59-year-old woman presented after a syncopal episode and fall. Imaging revealed massive bilateral PE and a grade III splenic laceration. Standard anticoagulation and thrombolysis were contraindicated. The Pulmonary Embolism Response Team (PERT) guided care, including catheter-directed thrombectomy with significant hemodynamic improvement, followed by splenic artery coil embolization. An inferior vena cava filter was placed while anticoagulation was temporarily withheld. Once stabilized, anticoagulation was resumed, and the filter was later removed. The patient achieved full recovery during follow-up. DISCUSSION: The management of this patient required weighing the risk of hemorrhage against the need for urgent reperfusion. The decision to pursue catheter-directed thrombectomy followed by embolization allowed for hemodynamic recovery while minimizing bleeding risk. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Individualized strategies and PERT-coordinated multidisciplinary care are essential for optimal outcomes in high-risk, complex PE presentations.
