The effect of anticoagulants on venous thrombosis prevention after knee arthroscopy: a systematic review.
Synthesis in International orthopaedics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeKnee arthroscopy, with its unique advantages, has become a routine surgery and is widely carried out around the world. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) after knee arthroscopy is a potentially serious complication. This article analyzes the effects of anticoagulant therapy after knee arthroscopy.
methodsWe used key words or entry terms without any limitations to search the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of drug prophylaxis for VTE after knee arthroscopy until November 2017 were included in our review.
resultsThis systematic review identified nine RCTs, consisting of 4290 patients, investigating drug prophylaxis in knee arthroscopy. There are three main drugs for preventing thrombosis after arthroscopic knee surgery: low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), rivaroxaban, and aspirin. Our study concluded that there is no difference in symptomatic VTE (excluding symptomatic distal DVT) risk during anticoagulant prophylaxis (RR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.44-2.19; I
conclusionsIn our study, anticoagulant therapy after knee arthroscopy was ineffective. We recommend that anticoagulants not be provided routinely after knee arthroscopy.
