Impact of Primary Ambulatory Thromboprophylaxis (PATP) with Low-Molecular Weight Heparins (LMWHs) on Survival in Patients with Lung Cancer Receiving Chemotherapy.

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
Lung cancer (LC) is the leading cause of cancer mortality. PATP was provided in experimental trials to decrease the venous thromboembolism (VTE), with ultimate aim to improve overall survival (OS). We undertook an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to determine the impact of PATP with LMWHs on OS and VTE in patients with LC. 5443 patients with LC from nine RCTs were included. The pooled hazard ratio (HR) for OS was 1.02 (95% CI 0.83 to 1.26; P = 0.83) and for progression or metastasis-free survival was 1.03 (95% CI 0.86 to 1.24; P = 0.74). The pooled risk ratio (RR) for VTE was 0.54 (95% CI 0.43 to 0.69; P < 0.00001) and the risk difference (RD) was-0.03 (- 0.05 to - 0.02; P < 0.00001). Our analysis showed no survival advantage with the addition of PATP with LMWHs to standard chemotherapy in patients with LC, regardless of histology or stages of small cell LC.
