A Simplified CT Score for Thrombus Burden in Acute Pulmonary Embolism: Clinical Correlation and Reproducibility.
Article in Journal of imaging, 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
(1) Objectives: In acute pulmonary embolism (PE), detailed thrombus burden scores are often complex and time-consuming, limiting their integration into urgent radiology reports. We evaluated a simplified modified Ghanima score (GmScore and GmS) designed to provide a structured estimate of thrombus burden and assessed its clinical correlation and reproducibility. (2) Methods: In this retrospective single-center study, 132 consecutive patients with confirmed acute PE were classified according to the modified GmScore: GmS1 (segmental), GmS2 (lobar), and GmS3 (main pulmonary arteries), considering luminal obstruction ≥ 50%. European Society of Cardiology (ESC) risk category, simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (sPESI), CT right-to-left ventricular (RV/LV) ratio, echocardiographic right ventricular dysfunction, and 30-day mortality were recorded. Inter- and intraobserver agreement were assessed using weighted kappa. (3) Results: In 132 patients (mean age 64.8 ± 16.5 years; 77 men), a significant clinical gradient was observed across GmScore categories. ESC intermediate-high/high risk occurred in 0% of GmS1 and 95.6% of GmS2-3 patients (
