Does venous thromboembolism affect rehabilitation after hip fracture surgery?
Observational study in Yonsei medical journal, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeVenous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is a serious and life-threatening complication in elderly (older than 65 years) patients undergoing hip fracture surgery (HFS). However, few have reported on the influences of VTE on postoperative rehabilitation in these patients. This study was performed to determine whether VTE affects clinical outcomes in patients who underwent HFS. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe retrospectively evaluated 330 HFSs in 325 consecutive patients, which were performed from January 2009 to June 2010. From chart review, we identified 15 patients with symptomatic VTE. We compared Geriatric depression scale, Modified Barthel index and Berg balance scale scores as well as 10 meter gait speed at discharge and hospital stay between a symptomatic VTE group and a non-VTE group.
resultsNo significant difference in clinical outcomes at discharge between the two groups was found, although hospital stay was longer in patients with symptomatic VTE (p=0.012).
conclusionEast Asian patients have a low incidence of symptomatic VTE after HFS, and the clinical outcomes of patients with symptomatic VTE were similar to patients without VTE, although there was a longer rehabilitation period.
