Massive Air Embolism in the Pulmonary Artery During Permanent Pacemaker Insertion.
Article in Cureus, 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
An elderly lady presented with syncope and was found to have complete heart block. She was planned for permanent pacemaker implantation the following day, and during the procedure, she developed an acute onset of dyspnea with hypotension, tachycardia, and her oxygen saturation on room air had dropped to 76%. After ruling out pneumothorax and myocardial infarction, we noticed that there was a massive air column floating in the pulmonary artery, which was visualized on cine-fluoroscopy. A provisional diagnosis of air embolism in the pulmonary artery was made, and she was managed with high-flow O2 and massive fluid boluses. Within 10 minutes, the patient improved with the disappearance of the air shadow on cine-fluoroscopy. Subsequently, the patient was discharged and improved dramatically.
