Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism After Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy: Development of a Physiotherapy Program.

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
backgroundThis study was to assess the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) and to evaluate the safety and feasibility of physiotherapy program to prevent VTE during cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).
methodsFor VTE prevention, we developed a systematic physiotherapy program consisting of active exercises of both arms and legs, and intermittent pneumatic compression device to massage both legs. This physiotherapy was applied to all patients, and the VTE-related events were recorded and analyzed.
resultsCytoreductive surgery + HIPEC was performed on 466 patients with PC. All patients had highest VTE risk, with the median Caprini risk factor score being 11. During the 3-month observation period, 8 patients had 9 (1.9%) clinically symptomatic VTE events, including 8 (1.7%) deep vein thrombosis and 1 (0.2%) pulmonary embolism. Among those, 5 patients received pharmacological treatments with low-molecular-weight heparin, and the other 3 received physical exercises only. All these patients recovered well, and there was no mortality about VTE perioperatively.
conclusionsPatients with PC treated by CRS + HIPEC are at highest risk for VTE. The systematic physiotherapy program is safe and feasible to prevent VTE post CRS + HIPEC.
