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

In this retrospective, real-world study, we used medical claims data to evaluate the incidence of thromboembolic events (TEs), time to TE, associated risk factors, and health-care resource utilization (HRU) in Japanese patients with polycythemia vera (PV; N = 606) from April 1, 2008, to August 31, 2015. Baseline characteristics of interest included median age, 67.0 years; previous TEs, 11.6%; cardiovascular conditions (CVCs), 45.7%; and ≥ 3 risk factors, 17.8%. Overall, 100 patients experienced TEs (118 events) at a rate of 8.15/100 person-years [TE-free survival rate, 69.3% (2008-2015)]. The annual total health-care costs [mean (per person)] were significantly impacted by the presence of TEs (yes vs. no: ¥993,000 vs ¥459,000; P < 0.001). These results confirm that the presence of CVCs increases the risk of TEs in Japanese patients with PV; occurrence of TEs was associated with a higher HRU in these patients.
