The use of direct oral anticoagulants for extended duration thromboprophylaxis in medically ill patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
The extended use of thromboprophylaxis with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for more than 30 days has been evaluated as an alternative for the standard duration thromboprophylaxis (7-10 days) with low molecular weight heparin in medically ill patients to reduce the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after hospital discharge. EMBASE and MEDLINE were searched for studies evaluating extended duration thromboprophylaxis with DOACs versus standard thromboprophylaxis with enoxaparin in medically ill patients through October 2018. Search was limited to randomized-controlled trials. Symptomatic VTE, VTE-related death, and death from any cause, and major and clinically relevant non-major bleeding were used to assess the efficacy and safety, respectively. The Mantel-Haenszel random-effects model risk ratio (RR) and corresponding 95% CIs were calculated using the metan routine in Stata (version 14.2) to estimate the pooled treatment effects. Heterogeneity was assessed by the I
