Catheter Thrombectomy of Massive Pulmonary Embolism Secondary to Spongostan Embolisation: A Case Report.
Article in Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions : official journal of the Society for Cardiac Angiography & Interventions, 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
Novel adjuvant hemostatic agents are increasingly used in surgical procedures to achieve hemostasis. We present a case of embolisation of hemostatic agents during a neurosurgical operation, causing massive PE requiring venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support, in a 7-year-old boy. Embolectomy was performed using the Penumbra 0.072" catheter with aspiration of blood clots alongside gelatinous clumps of Spongostan and thrombin, leading to angiographic and clinical improvement. A Cook MPA angiographic 5FR catheter and Terumo 0.035" wire were used for catheter repositioning between aspiration attempts. The following day, the patient was weaned from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and a day later, he underwent successful extubation. Catheter embolectomy with the Penumbra System can provide safe, rapid relief to a failing right ventricle in cases of massive PE caused by Spongostan.
