A Case of Asymptomatic Cement Migration Into the Pulmonary Arteries.
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
Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is a minimally invasive procedure used for the treatment of pathological vertebral fractures. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is injected into the fractured vertebrae, which leaks to the surrounding tissues and travels to the pulmonary circulation in a significant proportion of cases. We report the case of a 65-year-old asymptomatic woman with multiple linear opacities on a chest X-ray, conducted two months after the procedure. The case was managed conservatively due to the absence of any concerning features. Although PMMA pulmonary artery embolism is not a rare complication, awareness remains extremely low; however, physicians should bear it in mind, as this complication may frequently be asymptomatic but, in severe cases, could lead to fatal outcomes.
