Venous thromboembolism risk factors in a pediatric trauma population.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2019. 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
purposeNew guidelines have been proposed for venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in pediatric trauma patients. This paper seeks to evaluate risk factors associated with VTE that might further guide patient selection for prophylaxis.
methodsReview of a tertiary children's academic hospital's trauma database for VTE events and associated risk factors from 2005 to 2016.
results15,306 pediatric trauma patients were identified and reviewed. During this time period there were 6191 admissions (40.4%), of which 20 developed a VTE (0.3%) including two pulmonary emboli. Primary outcome was comparison of risk factors for developing a VTE that were identified in the literature. Age stratification revealed the highest incidence of VTE in children under the age of 2 (0.7%), which increased with CVC placement when compared to children aged 2-12 and 13-15 (0.036 Fisher's exact test).
conclusionsVTE after pediatric trauma is rare, and may be more uncommon than previously reported. CVC placement was the strongest predictor of VTE, particularly in infant and toddler patients which can explain their higher overall incidence compared to other pediatric age groups. Identifying high-risk patients is important to optimize screening and prophylaxis of VTE in pediatric trauma patients while minimizing risks of anticoagulation.
