Novel screening criteria for post-traumatic venous thromboembolism by using D-dimer.

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
aimBecause severe trauma patients frequently manifest coagulopathy, it is extremely important to detect venous thromboembolism (VTE) in the acute phase. However, no reference value for D-dimer in post-traumatic VTE has been reported given the substantial increase in its levels after injury. Therefore, this study evaluates the ability of our screening criteria using D-dimer to detect VTE in severe trauma patients.
methodsTrauma patients (
resultsDuring the study period, 108 cases satisfied the screening criteria; 73 of these underwent CE-CT, 34 of whom were diagnosed with VTE (positive predictive value, 46.6%). The median hospital stay on satisfying the screening criteria and before undergoing CE-CT was 7 and 10 days, respectively. No patient had VTE symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Also, none of the remaining 347 patients who did not satisfy the screening criteria had VTE symptoms.
conclusionThe screening criteria using D-dimer presented herein can be used as reference for efficiently detecting VTE in severe trauma patients.
