1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Pulmonary embolism is a common and potentially life-threatening acute condition encountered in clinical practice. Neuroendocrine tumors are heterogeneous neoplasms characterized by diverse biological behaviors, and patients with poorly differentiated or advanced neuroendocrine tumors may have an increased risk of developing venous thromboembolism. We report the case of a 60-year-old female who experienced acute chest discomfort and was diagnosed with pulmonary embolism. Comprehensive evaluation revealed no evidence of lower limb thrombosis, autoimmune or hematologic disorders, or other identifiable causes. The emboli resolved following anticoagulant therapy. Seventeen months later, the patient developed upper abdominal pain and underwent a colonoscopy, which revealed a lesion approximately 20 cm proximal to the terminal ileum. Histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses confirmed a grade-1 neuroendocrine tumor.
