A predictive model of preoperative risk factors for venous thromboembolism after fusion for degenerative conditions of the thoracolumbar spine.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics. 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
backgroundThe purpose of this study was to identify preoperative risk factors for VTE and develop a predictive model that can be integrated into electronic health records (EHRs).
methodsRetrospective review of patients undergoing thoracolumbar fusion from 2016 to 2018 in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was performed.
resultsIncreasing age, BMI, and several other factors were significant predictors of increased risk for postoperative VTE. The predictive model had an area under the curve of 0.683, indicating acceptable discrimination. DISCUSSION: Our findings build upon previous studies by presenting a model equation that can be rapidly integrated into EHRs for validation.
