Comparative analysis of clinical decision tools for acute pulmonary embolism at a tertiary care center.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) requires accurate risk stratification to guide intensive care versus safe discharge decisions. Therefore, it is of interest to compare original Pneumonia Severity Index (PESI) versus Simplified Pneumonia Severity Index (sPESI) in 410 acute PE patients for predicting 30-day mortality and adverse outcomes. Both indices showed excellent negative predictive values (NPVs) (>98%) for mortality, with sPESI demonstrating higher sensitivity (94.1% vs 89.5%). Original PESI had slightly superior risk discrimination (AUC 0.78 vs 0.75), but sPESI proved more clinically practical. sPESI advances PE management as the preferred bedside tool for identifying low-risk patients suitable for outpatient care.
