Risk of post-operative venous thromboembolism in patients with meningioma.
Article in Journal of neuro-oncology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
The surgical resection of meningiomas can be complicated by venous thromboembolism (VTE) in the post-operative period, but the exact incidence of this event is not known. Aim of this study was to assess the occurrence of VTE in patients operated for meningioma who underwent a post-operative clinical and objective screening for VTE. Patients undergoing meningioma resection between 2000 and 2010 who accepted to be investigated for VTE in the post-operative period were included in the study. The screening included daily clinical assessment, pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy (Q-SCAN) on day 2 and venous compression ultrasonography (CUS) of the lower limbs within day 7. The univariate and multivariate statistical analysis of risk factors for VTE included sex, age, presence of comorbidities, pre- and post-operative Karnofsky Performance scale (KPS), post-operative neurological worsening and post-operative walking ability. Two-hundred and seventy-five patients were included in the study. VTE was diagnosed in 82 patients (29.8%). Univariate analysis revealed that age ≥ 65 years, cardiovascular comorbidities, pre- and post-operative KPS < 80/100, post-operative neurological worsening and impaired post-operative walking ability were significantly associated with VTE. Multivariate analysis confirmed only age ≥ 65 years (p = 0.011) and post-operative KPS < 80/100 (p = 0.002) as independent risk factors for VTE. Patients operated for meningioma have a 30% risk of VTE. Age ≥ 65 years and post-operative KPS < 80 were independent risk factors for VTE.
