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

Essentials Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with procoagulant and inflammatory biomarkers. We studied the association of CKD and venous thromboembolism (VTE) in a case-cohort study. Factor VIII, D-dimer and C-reactive protein appeared to explain the association of CKD and VTE. Statin use was protective against VTE in those with and without CKD. SUMMARY: Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk via unknown mechanisms. Whether factors associated with reduced VTE risk in the general population might also be associated with reduced VTE risk in CKD patients is unknown. Objectives To determine whether thrombosis biomarkers attenuate VTE risk, and whether factors associated with reduced VTE risk are similarly effective in CKD patients. Methods Baseline biomarkers were measured in a cohort (294 VTE cases; 939 non-cases) from the Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study, a nationwide prospective cohort study of 30 239 persons aged ≥45 years with 4.3 years of follow-up. The hazard ratio (HR) of VTE per 10 mL min
