The Incidence of Deep Vein Thrombosis in Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Outpatient Cancer Therapy in Iran.
Article in Tanaffos, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is one of the main causes of mortality in patients with cancer. This study was conducted to assess the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in breast cancer patients receiving outpatient cancer therapy. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis multi-center prospective cohort study was conducted on patients with breast cancer, initiating an outpatient chemotherapy regimen in five medical centers in Iran. Eligible patients were enrolled in the study consecutively between January 2013 and January 2015. The primary outcome was lower extremity DVT based on duplex/doppler ultrasonography two months after the first course of chemotherapy (visit 2) and after the end of the course (visit 3). All patients were followed-up from the onset of chemotherapy until the first occurrence of lower extremity DVT, death, or the end of the course.
resultsA total of 427 eligible breast cancer patients were recruited in the study, 403 of whom attended at least one follow-up visit. The mean (SD) duration of follow-up was 4 (1.3) months. During the follow-up, only one patient showed DVT on duplex/doppler ultrasonography in visit 2. Therefore, the two-month and overall cumulative incidence risk of DVT was 0.25% (95% CI: 0.00-0.74%). However, the mean D-dimer level showed no significant change (P>0.05).
conclusionOur findings showed the low risk of DVT in breast cancer patients receiving outpatient cancer therapy.
