e-thrombosis: epidemiology, physiopathology and rationale for preventing computer-related thrombosis.
Review in Annals of translational medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05212363 (Lower Leg Compression vs. a Walking Break on Blood Flow in Extended Video Game Play), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 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.

Abstract
The large availability of computers (personal, laptop and tablet) has revolutionized human life more than any other discovery or invention over the past century. Nevertheless, prolonged use of computers may both directly and indirectly promote the onset of some serious human pathologies, thus including venous thromboembolism (VTE). Convincing epidemiological and biological evidence has been published that computer-related thrombosis (also known as "e-thrombosis") should now be regarded as an independent clinical entity, deserving enhanced healthcare focus and interventions, due to the growing worldwide diffusion of computer devices, which may ultimately contribute to enhance the risk of computer-related thrombosis, and turn it from a relatively rare disease to a noticeably frequent pathology. A set of preventive measures can thus be suggested, such as designing and setting up ergonomically suitable computer workstations, using comfortable sitting positions, avoiding long and uninterrupted computer-seated immobility, and avoiding the wearing of restrictive clothing on the legs. Reinforced measures should then be advised in patients with acquired, or inherited prothrombotic conditions, in whom the risk of computer-related thrombosis may be substantially magnified.
