Gender differences of venous thromboembolism risk after total hip and total knee arthroplasty: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of thrombosis and thrombolysis, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate gender differences of venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk after total hip (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We searched PubMed and Web of Knowledge from their beginning to 25 July 2015. Pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95 % confidence interval (CI) for VTE risk were calculated. Twenty studies with 7,892,585 patients were included in our study. The VTE incidence ranged from 0.27 to 61.0 %. The sex ratio (male/female) was 0.623 (3,016,648/4,839,785) in no VTE group versus 0.492 (11,926/24,226) in VTE group. The pooled OR was 1.184 (95 % CI 1.070-1.310; Z = 3.28, P = 0.001). The Begg's test (z = 1.46, P = 0.144) and the Egger's test (t = 0.58, P = 0.571), and the funnel plot suggested there was no significant publication bias. Sensitivity analysis by omitted a study with largest simple size showed the pooled OR was 1.166 (95 % CI 1.051-1.294; Z = 2.91, P = 0.004) by random-effects model. Meta-regression showed VTE risk was not related with THA and TKA incidence (t = 0.35, P = 0.732). Our meta-analysis showed female patients have slightly higher risk of VTE than male patients after THA and TKA.
