CIRSE Standards of Practice on Endovascular Treatment of Acute Pulmonary Embolism.

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
purposeThis CIRSE Standards of Practice document aims to provide comprehensive standards for the endovascular treatment of acute pulmonary embolism and includes recommendations for the imaging diagnosis, surveillance, intervention indications and endovascular treatments.
methodsThe CIRSE Standards of Practice Committee established a writing group of six internationally recognised interventional radiologists with expertise in pulmonary embolism interventions and one research assistant (C.I). The group conducted a pragmatic evidence-based PubMed search for relevant English-language reports on human subjects up to early 2025. The final recommendations are consensus-based.
resultsEndovascular treatment of pulmonary embolism is highly successful with low complication rates. For acute pulmonary thromboembolic disease, catheter-directed thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy are options for patients with intermediate-high-risk and high-risk pulmonary embolism, especially when systemic fibrinolysis fails or is contraindicated.
conclusionsEndovascular therapy for acute pulmonary embolism is both safe and effective. This best practice document emphasises early diagnosis, appropriate patient selection and timely intervention.
