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

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious and potentially fatal disorder, which is often associated with a significant impact on the quality of life and on the clinical outcome of cancer patients. The pathophysiology of the association between thrombosis and cancer is complex: malignancy is associated with a baseline hypercoagulable state due to many factors including release of inflammatory cytokines, activation of the clotting system, expression of hemostatic proteins on tumor cells, inhibition of natural anticoagulants, and impaired fibrinolysis. Several risk factors, related to the patient, the disease, and the therapeutic interventions, have been identified as contributing to the occurrence of VTE. There is convincing evidence to recommend the use of heparins or fondaparinux for prevention of VTE in selected cancer patients, and, especially in some particular types of malignancies and cancer treatments. Management of VTE in patients with cancer is more challenging and bleeding complications associated with the use of anticoagulants are significantly higher in cancer patients than in those without malignancy. Important issues that need to be considered in all cases are interference with anticancer therapy, inconvenience of treatment, and impact on quality of life.
