Clinical analysis of postoperative venous thromboembolism in Japanese patients after colorectal cancer surgery.
Article in Surgery today, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 major complication after abdominal surgery; however, the best strategy for preventing VTE after surgery is not yet established. We performed this study to investigate the incidence of perioperative VTE and evaluate the efficacy of a VTE preventive strategy for patients undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer (CRC).
methodsThe subjects of this retrospective analysis were 228 patients who underwent curative surgical resection for CRC between 2012 and 2016. The patients were treated with thromboprophylaxis including enoxaparin. We assessed the perioperative VTE occurrence rate and investigated the risk factors for postoperative VTE.
resultsAmong the 228 patients, 77 had a preoperative D-dimer level of > 1.0 μg/mL and 12 had deep vein thrombosis (DVT) diagnosed by ultrasonography preoperatively. Of the remaining 216 patients, short-term VTE (< 30 days) developed in two patients (0.9%) and long-term VTE (30 days-3 years) developed in seven (3.2%). The mortality rate of patients with VTE was 0%. The univariate analysis indicated that pulmonary disease was the risk factor for short-term VTE, whereas obesity, hyperlipidemia, and a preoperative history of pulmonary embolism were the risk factors for long-term VTE (p < 0.05).
conclusionThe findings of this analysis show that our preventive protocol including enoxaparin is an effective strategy for preventing postoperative VTE.
