Low-molecular weight heparin prevents portal vein system thrombosis after splenectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in ANZ journal of surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in the prevention of portal vein system thrombosis (PVST) after splenectomy.
methodsA systematic search was performed using PubMed, EMBASE, Springer and Cochrane Library databases to screen out studies comparing the prognoses between post-splenectomy patients treated with and without LMWH. The incidences of PVST and bleeding complications were used as parameters to assess the effect of LMWH.
resultsSix articles met the selection criteria and were included in this study. A total of 740 patients were involved in these six articles, including 336 patients treated with LMWH (LMWH group) and 385 patients not treated with LMWH (control group). The incidence of PVST in the LMWH group was significantly lower than that in the control group (relative risk 1.782 (1.449-2.192); P = 0.285; I
conclusionLMWH might decrease the incidence of PVST after splenectomy without a potential risk of bleeding.
