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

introductionThe association of cancer and venous thromboembolism (VTE) becomes increasingly important. VTE has been recognised as an increasingly frequent complication in cancer care. Furthermore, recent clinical trials have shown that therapy and prophylaxis of VTEs with low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is, in general, superior to oral anticoagulation with warfarin. Also, prolonged therapy of or prophylaxis for VTE in cancer patients seems to be associated with an improved outcome. DISCUSSION: Research on patient preferences for therapy and prophylaxis of VTE is still rare; but it seems clear that, as in other areas, cancer patients wish to be involved in the decision-making process. Patients seem to accept LMWH over oral anticoagulation despite the need for subcutaneous injections.

conclusionCancer and thrombosis/hypercoagulability is an increasingly important association. The use of antithrombotics in cancer patients warrants increased attention since it's importance seems underrecognized.
