1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is the third leading cause of vascular disease and accounts for $10 billion in annual US healthcare costs. The nationwide burden of 30-day readmissions after such events has not been comprehensively assessed. METHODS AND

resultsWe analyzed adults ≥18 years of age with hospitalizations associated with acute VTE between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2014, in the Nationwide Readmissions Database.

conclusionsNearly 1 in 5 patients with acute VTE were readmitted within 30 days. Predictors and causes of readmission were primarily related to patient characteristics and complications from comorbid conditions, whereas healthcare quality had a moderate impact on readmission risk.
