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
Saddle pulmonary embolism (PE) complicated by right atrial thrombus in transit is an infrequent but highly lethal condition. Standard treatments such as systemic thrombolysis or surgical embolectomy carry significant risks, particularly in elderly or comorbid patients. We describe the case of a 76-year-old man with spina bifida, cauda equina syndrome, chronic immobility, and multiple comorbidities who presented in shock. Imaging revealed a large saddle PE with mobile right atrial thrombus and right ventricular strain. Given prohibitive surgical risk and contraindications to thrombolysis due to recent spinal infection and acute kidney injury, and high bleeding risk, he underwent percutaneous suction thrombectomy using the FlowTriever system. Large thrombus burden was successfully removed from both the right pulmonary artery and right atrium, with restoration of flow and hemodynamic stabilization. He was transitioned to long-term anticoagulation and discharged in stable condition. This case highlights the role of dual-site suction thrombectomy as a life-saving option when conventional therapies are contraindicated.
