Multidisciplinary Management of Massive Pulmonary Embolism in Twin Pregnancy Using Percutaneous Thrombectomy: Maternal-Fetal Survival.
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
Massive pulmonary embolism (PE) during pregnancy is a major cause of maternal mortality, with increased risk in twin gestations. Hemodynamic instability in the setting of contraindication to systemic thrombolysis poses a critical therapeutic challenge, requiring a multidisciplinary approach to ensure maternal stabilization and fetal viability. A 32-year-old woman at 29 weeks of twin pregnancy was admitted with bilateral massive PE and obstructive shock. Due to the high obstetric hemorrhagic risk associated with systemic thrombolysis, percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy was performed. The procedure achieved pulmonary reperfusion and reversal of right ventricular dysfunction, allowing maternal stabilization and short-term prolongation of the pregnancy. Subsequently, cesarean delivery was performed due to preterm labor, resulting in two live newborns (Apgar scores of 8/9). The mother had an uneventful recovery without hemorrhagic complications. Massive PE in twin pregnancy can be successfully managed through a multidisciplinary strategy focused on maternal-fetal safety. In this context, percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy represents a safe and effective therapeutic alternative, associated with favorable maternal and perinatal outcomes.
