Thrombosis prophylaxis in critically ill patients.
Review in Wiener medizinische Wochenschrift (1946), 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Incidence of deep vein thrombosis in critically ill patients depends on the underlying disease but may be as high as 60%. The Surviving Sepsis Campaign clearly recommends administering anticoagulation in the absence of specific contraindications in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock. The article discusses risk factor for thromboembolic events in critical illness as well as means of non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic thrombosis prophylaxis. Peripheral vasoconstriction, edema, shock, and administration of catecholamines may reduce the bioavailability and efficacy of subcutaneous administration of low molecular weight heparin. This article further elaborates on the problem and pathophysiology of heparin resistance. Continuous intravenous administration of new anticoagulants may be a promising alternative to indirect anticoagulants. Severity of illness and SAPS II-score determine dosing of the direct thrombin inhibitor argatroban which needs to be about 10-times lower than in patients without critical illness.
