Real-world comparison of mechanical thrombectomy vs. catheter-directed thrombolysis for the treatment of pulmonary embolism: a single-center retrospective study.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 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
A recent multi-site randomized controlled trial, PEERLESS, demonstrated superiority of FlowTriever mechanical thrombectomy (FTMT) to catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) in the treatment of intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism using a 5-point composite outcome. The purpose of our study is to review clinical outcomes between these two procedures in actual clinical practice without the use of a composite endpoint using a large sample size. This is a retrospective, single-center analysis of 461 patients who presented with submassive or massive PE and underwent treatment with either FTMT or CDT. No significant difference was observed in 7-day (RR 0.495;
