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

Tinzaparin sodium (Innohep) is a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) that is effective in the prevention and treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and/or pulmonary embolism (PE), and in maintaining the patency of haemodialysis circuits in adult patients. In terms of preventing DVT and/or PE, therapy with subcutaneous tinzaparin sodium was more effective than oral warfarin and equivalent to subcutaneous enoxaparin sodium in patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery, and did not significantly differ from that of subcutaneous unfractionated heparin (UFH) in patients undergoing general surgery. In the initial therapy of adult patients with DVT and/or PE, subcutaneous tinzaparin sodium was at least as effective as intravenous UFH and did not significantly differ from subcutaneous dalteparin sodium. Various other studies have demonstrated that the long-term efficacy of subcutaneous tinzaparin sodium in the treatment of patients with DVT and/or PE was sustained for a total period of up to 12 months. Tinzaparin sodium was also demonstrated to be effective in maintaining the patency of haemodialysis circuits in adult patients with end-stage renal failure. In clinical studies, tinzaparin sodium was generally well tolerated in the prevention and treatment of DVT and/or PE in adult patients, including in elderly patients, and in patients undergoing haemodialysis. As expected, bleeding complications were the most frequently occurring adverse event. Thus, available data indicate that tinzaparin sodium is a useful option in the prevention and treatment of DVT and/or PE, and in maintaining the patency of haemodialysis circuits in adult patients.
