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 in the neonate is a rare, life-threatening emergency. Risk factors for neonatal pulmonary embolism (PE) include sepsis, asphyxia, prematurity, and vascular catheterisation. We report the case of a preterm neonate with a massive saddle pulmonary thrombosis of unidentified etiology. Prompt diagnosis by cardiology allowed an emergent lifesaving open surgical thrombectomy, underscoring the importance of efficient multidisciplinary teamwork. Pediatric health-care professionals must be aware of this rare entity when initial oxygen desaturation management fails, even when obvious risk factors for PE are not apparent. We emphasise the importance of seamless multidisciplinary communication and proactive surgical consultation.
