NEWS-Guided Management of Pulmonary Embolism in Pregnancy With Percutaneous Thrombectomy.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 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
backgroundPregnancy-associated pulmonary embolism (PE) represents a rare but life-threatening condition, with limited evidence to guide management. Reperfusion therapy must be carefully balanced against an increased risk of maternal and fetal bleeding complications. CASE SUMMARY: We report a case of a 38-year-old woman at 30 weeks' gestation who presented with acute hypoxemia and was diagnosed with central PE complicated by right ventricular dysfunction. The patient's deterioration, objectively captured by the National Early Warning Score (NEWS), guided a multidisciplinary team decision toward percutaneous thrombectomy. The procedure resulted in rapid hemodynamic improvement and preserved maternal and fetal outcomes. DISCUSSION: In pregnancy-associated pulmonary embolism, the optimal management strategy-anticoagulation alone, (local or reduced-dose) thrombolysis, or thrombolysis-free reperfusion-remains uncertain, as does the optimal timing of reperfusion. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: This case highlights the potential role of catheter-based thrombectomy as a thrombolytic-free option in selected pregnant patients, particularly when guided by structured risk-assessment tools and multidisciplinary input.
