Prepregnancy maternal body mass index and venous thromboembolism: a population-based cohort study.
Observational study in BJOG : an international journal of obstetrics and gynaecology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
objectiveTo assess the relation between maternal body mass index (BMI) and pregnancy-related venous thromboembolism (VTE).
designCohort study. SETTING AND POPULATION: A total of 2 449 133 women with singleton pregnancies who underwent delivery hospitalisation in California between 2008 and 2012.
methodsAssociation of pre-pregnancy BMI and the risk of an antepartum and postpartum VTE was examined using logistic regression, with normal BMI as reference.
main outcome measuresAntepartum and postpartum VTE-related hospitalisation.
resultsThe prevalence of antepartum and postpartum VTE increased with increasing BMI (antepartum: 2.3, 3.0, 3.8, 4.2, 4.7, and 10.6 per 10 000 women for underweight, normal BMI, overweight, obesity class I, II, and III, respectively, P < 0.001; postpartum: 2.0, 3.1, 3.9, 5.6, 9.0, and 13.2 per 10 000 women, P < 0.01). The adjusted odds of antepartum and postpartum VTE increased progressively with increasing BMI, with obesity class III women having the highest risk of pregnancy-related VTE compared with normal BMI women: adjusted odds ratio for antepartum VTE: 2.9; 95% CI 2.2-3.8 and adjusted odds ratio for postpartum VTE: 3.6; 95% CI 2.9-4.6.
conclusionsOur findings clearly demonstrate an increasing risk of pregnancy-related VTE with increasing BMI. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT: Obesity was associated with increased odds of antepartum and postpartum venous thromboembolism.
