Clinical analysis of preoperative deep vein thrombosis risk factors in patients with colorectal cancer: Retrospective observational study.
Article in Annals of gastroenterological surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
aimDeep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a major complication of cancer. The postoperative prevalence of DVT in colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery is high, but the preoperative prevalence and the risk factors have not been clarified in detail. The objective of this retrospective study was to investigate the preoperative prevalence and risk factors of DVT in patients admitted to hospital for CRC surgery.
methodsFrom January 2013 to March 2017, 1006 patients admitted for CRC surgery were deemed eligible for this retrospective study. Diagnosis of preoperative DVT was confirmed by compression ultrasonography. Prevalence of silent DVT in lower limbs in patients before CRC surgery was assessed, and the risk factors for preoperative DVT were investigated regarding the correlation of DVT with the patient's background.
resultsPreoperative DVT and asymptomatic pulmonary thromboembolism were diagnosed in 136 (13.5%) and in 10 (1.0%) of 1006 patients overall, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that increased age (≥75 years), female gender, and an elevated d-dimer level (>1.0 μg/mL) were independent risk factors for preoperative DVT in this study. Notably, the prevalence of preoperative DVT exceeded 50% in patients with all three predictors.
conclusionsA high prevalence (13.5%) of preoperative DVT was found in patients admitted to the hospital for CRC surgery. The present results suggest that instrumental screening should be encouraged, at least in subgroups at a higher risk of preoperative DVT.
