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

Thromboprophylaxis following arthroscopic knee surgery (AKS) is not clear in the literature. The purpose of this study was to present the incidence of symptomatic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) following elective AKS over the age of 40. The secondary purpose was to investigate risk factors associated with venous thromboembolic events (VTEs). Surgical database and outpatient clinic follow-up charts of the patients who underwent AKS for any reason were included in the study. Odds for risk factors such as previous medical history of thrombosis, any family history for clotting disorders, diabetes mellitus (DM), oral contraceptive usage, body mass index, history of malignancy, and smoking were evaluated. The incidence of DVT following AKS significantly increased in the patients older than 40 years who had a previous medical history of VTE, DM, and smoking. A variety of guidelines exist for VTE prophylaxis; however, one should focus on risk factors related to the patient's medical history and current medical conditions. In this study, smoking, DM, and previous history of DVT increased DVT risk significantly, and thromboprophylaxis should be kept in mind for these patients.
