Massive Bilateral Pulmonary Thromboembolism Due to a Thrombus in Transit to the Right Atrium: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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 48-year-old man presented to a rural Honduran hospital with progressive dyspnea for three days, worsening at rest. He was hemodynamically stable and without tachypnea or pulmonary crackles. The electrocardiogram showed sinus tachycardia, suggestive of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). Chest CT confirmed the diagnosis of bilateral PTE with total occlusion of the right pulmonary artery and significant stenosis of the left pulmonary artery. Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed a right atrial thrombus. Medical treatment with therapeutic anticoagulation was provided. Echocardiographic follow-up at 10 days showed that the original thrombus had been significantly reduced to two smaller thrombi. The patient was discharged from the hospital with more anticoagulants. Thrombus in transit alongside pulmonary embolism is rare and is an emergent condition; it can quickly progress to cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. This patient's effective diagnosis and treatment highlight the importance of bedside echocardiography in resource-limited settings.
