Comparison of and risk factors for early and late pulmonary embolism in patients after major cancer surgery.
Article in Scientific 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
Postoperative pulmonary embolism (PE) is a severe complication of major cancer surgery. We investigated patients who underwent major cancer surgery at Sichuan Cancer Hospital (2016 to May 2022). Postoperative PE was divided into early and late phases according to whether PE was diagnosed within or after 3 days after surgery, respectively. Patients with early and late PE were compared to patients without postoperative PE in a 1:2 ratio and matched for age (± 3 years), type of cancer, and cancer site. Logistic regression analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis were used to identify the risk factors for early and late PE, respectively. The early and late PE groups included 36 and 46 patients, respectively. LASSO logistic regression showed that early postoperative PE was significantly associated with body mass index (BMI), intraoperative hypotension time, and postoperative D-dimer levels (P < 0.05). Postoperative D-dimer levels and severe infection were independent risk factors for late PE (P < 0.05). BMI and intraoperative hypotension time are risk factors for early PE, whereas severe infection is a risk factor for late PE. In addition, high postoperative D-dimer levels were strongly associated with both early and late PE.
