Immigration, region of origin, and the epidemiology of venous thromboembolism: A population-based study.
Article in Research and practice in thrombosis and haemostasis, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundVenous thromboembolism (VTE) epidemiology has been mainly studied in populations largely of European ancestry.
objectivesTo assess the epidemiology of VTE in immigrants to Ontario, Canada. PATIENTS/
methodsWe conducted a population-based retrospective cohort study using linked health-care and administrative databases. We included 1 195 791 immigrants to Ontario and 1 195 791 nonimmigrants, matched on age, sex, and place of residence. The main exposure was ethnicity according to world region of origin, using a previously validated algorithm. The main outcome was incident onset of VTE during the period of observation. Risk ratios (RR) were calculated using Poisson regression models.
resultsThe incidence rate (IR) of VTE was lower among immigrants (0.87 per 1000 PY; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.85-0.89) than nonimmigrants (1.59 per 1000 PY; 95% CI 1.56-1.61). Age- and sex-standardized IR were lower among East and South Asian immigrants. Compared to immigrants for predominantly White regions, age- and sex-specific RRs were consistently lower for East Asian (0.18-0.30) and South Asian (0.29-0.75) immigrants. In contrast, the RRs of VTE among Black (0.38-1.50), Latin American (0.29-1.25), Arab/Middle Eastern (0.44-1.08) and West Asian (0.31-1.16) immigrants were not significantly different from White immigrants.
conclusionsIn Ontario, the incidence of VTE is lower among immigrants compared to nonimmigrants. East and South Asian immigrants have a lower risk of VTE compared to White immigrants.
