Deep Vein Thrombosis in Elderly Patients following Surgery for Fracture of the Proximal Femur.
Article in Malaysian orthopaedic journal, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The incidence of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is high in orthopaedic cases, associated with morbidity and mortality. This study was done to evaluate the incidence of DVT and factors that contributed to DVT in elderly patients with proximal femur fracture who underwent surgery. Patients 60 years of age and older with proximal femur fracture who underwent surgery were enrolled into this study. Daily observation of the clinical signs of DVT was done post operatively until the subjects were discharged from the hospital. D-Dimer test and contrast venography were carried out on Day 2 and between Days 4 and 7 after surgery. Results were interpreted as normal and obstruction. There were 42 eligible patients, 18 of them (42.86 %) were diagnosed with DVT. We found that positive D-Dimer test (1.40), longer duration of surgery (1.86), and presence of clinical symptoms (1.09) increased the risk of the occurence of thrombosis although not statistically significant. There were four DVT patients who passed away within 4 months after surgery due to complication from DVT. The incidence of DVT in elderly with proximal femur fracture underwent surgery was relatively high (42.86 %) with the mortality rate was 22%.
