Pulmonary Embolism in Acute Ischaemic Stroke: Evolving Evidence, Diagnostic Challenges, and a Novel Thromboinflammatory Axis Hypothesis.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is an under-recognised yet serious complication in patients with acute ischaemic stroke (AIS), contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. The interplay of traditional risk factors-such as immobility, endothelial dysfunction, and hypercoagulability-with AIS-specific conditions, including atrial fibrillation, malignancy, and reperfusion therapies, complicates both diagnosis and management. Despite available prophylactic strategies, including low-molecular-weight heparin and intermittent pneumatic compression, their use remains limited by bleeding concerns and a lack of tailored guidelines. This review synthesises the current evidence on the incidence, risk factors, pathophysiology, diagnostic approaches, and preventive strategies for PE in AIS, identifying critical gaps in risk stratification and clinical decision-making. We propose a novel mechanistic framework-
