1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Lower risk of venous thromboembolism in Asians compared to Whites has been suggested. Despite the biological and cultural diversity of Asian Americans, data are sparse for specific ethnic groups. In our prior study of lower Asian American risk, the small number of subjects (337 in all races) precluded accurate study of specific Asian American groups. We present here a new study with 4674 venous thromboembolism subjects diagnosed between 1996 and 2015. Our study population was derived from 61,459 voluntary health examinees in a comprehensive northern California health plan with self-classified ethnicity: 53.0% Whites, 28.4% Blacks, 11.6% ASAMs, 6.8% Others. Of Asian Americans, 44.7% were Chinese, 32.8% Filipinos, 12.9% Japanese, 4.5% South Asians, and 5.0% Other Asians. Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos, and Other Asians each had lower venous thromboembolism risk than both Whites and South Asians, who had risk similar to each other. These data indirectly support a genetic explanation.
