Analysis of risk factors for lower limb deep vein thrombosis in patients after Lumbar Fusion Surgery.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo identify the risk factors of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of lower limb in patients undergoing lumbar fusion surgeries, to provide a better understanding of DVT and take prophylactic measures.
methodsThis study was carried out in our hospital between January 2016 and February 2020, patients undergoing lumbar fusion surgeries were included and divided into DVT group and non-DVT group, and the medical data including basic demographics, clinical characteristics, operative data, and routine biochemical parameters were collected and analyzed.
resultsIn the current study, 390 cases were included, 48 cases were enrolled in DVT group and 342 in non-DVT group. The incidence of DVT was 12.3%. There were significant differences in age, hyperlipemia, hypertension, occupation type, D-dimer level, hospital stay, and postoperative exercises (p<0.05), but no significant differences in gender, smoking status, drinking status, coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus, fused segments, and operation time (p>0.05) between the two groups. In multivariate analysis, age>50 years, hypertension, D-dimer>500ug/L were independent risk factors, while postoperative exercises were protective factor for DVT.
conclusionThose patients undergoing lumbar fusion surgeries should take more prophylactic measures including postoperative exercises if they were elderly, or hypertensive, or have high D-dimer level, in order to decrease the incidence of DVT.
