Analysis of the occurrence of deep venous thrombosis in lower extremity fractures: A clinical study.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
objectiveTo clarify if fracture site is correlated to the occurrence of deep venous thrombosis, and determine the risk factors of deep venous thrombosis in lower extremity fractures, help surgeons make prophylaxis for the disease correctly.
methodsThe patients with lower extremity fractures treated surgically in the orthopedics department of our hospital from May 2012 to July 2017 were reviewed retrospectively. The clinical data including age, gender, fracture site, surgery modality, hospital stay, operation time, occupation type, hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, smoking status, drinking status, postoperative exercises were collected and analyzed.
resultsEight hundred and twenty-nine patients were included for analysis, in which 68 were included in deep venous thrombosis group, 761 were included in the non-deep venous thrombosis group, and the incidence of deep venous thrombosis was 8.2%. There were significant differences in age, fracture site, surgery modality, occupation type, operation time, smoking status, hospital stay and postoperative exercises between the two groups (p<0.05), but no significant differences in gender, drinking status, coronary heart disease, diabetes and hypertension (p>0.05). In multivariate analysis, old age greater than 50 years, arthroplasty and operation time more than three hours were independent risk factors, while physical labor and postoperative exercises were protective factors for deep venous thrombosis in lower extremity fractures.
conclusionFracture site was correlated to the incidence of deep venous thrombosis, old age, longer operation time, and arthroplasty were independent risk factors, physical labor and postoperative exercises were protective factors for deep venous thrombosis in patients with lower extremity fractures.
