1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 objective of this study is to assess the relationship between gallstones and venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), and the risk of VTE after cholecystectomy for gallstones. This nationwide population-based cohort study retrieved the hospitalization database from the Longitudinal Health Insurance Research Database (LHID2000), a database belonging to the National Health Insurance (NHI) program of Taiwan. A total of 345,793 patients aged ≥ 18 years with gallstones diagnosed between 2000 and 2010 were identified as the study cohort. The beneficiaries without gallstones were randomly selected as the control cohort by propensity score matching with the study cohort at a 1:1 ratio based on age, sex, urbanization, occupation, comorbidities, and year of the index date. We compared the risk of VTE between both cohorts and measured the risk differences of VTE between the gallstones patients with (
