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

purposeVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is a potentially life-threatening condition associated with both orthopaedic surgery and tumour growth. In this study, we identify risk factors associated with VTE in patients with musculoskeletal tumours using two national datasets.

methodsThe ACS-NSQIP and NIS databases were queried for patients undergoing surgery with a diagnosis of benign or malignant musculoskeletal tumours. Chi-square and binary logistic regression analyses were used to determine risk factors for VTE.

resultsThe incidence of VTE was 2% in both databases. Patients with malignant tumours, those with tumours of the pelvis, sacrum, or coccyx, obesity, arrhythmias, paralysis, metastatic disease, coagulopathy, and recent weight loss were at increased risk for VTE. In patients with benign tumours, those who were African American, those with tumours of the pelvis, sacrum, or coccyx, diabetes, anaemia, and coagulopathy were at increased risk of VTE.

conclusionsPatients with malignant or benign lesion are at greater risk of VTE if they are age 30 and over, of the African American population, or with tumors of the pelvis/sacrum/coccyx, or any of the following comorbidities: pulmonary disease, paralysis, other neurological disorders, or coagulopathy.
