Risk stratification for venous thrombosis in post-partum women in a tertiary care setup in south India.
Article in The Indian journal of medical research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
BACKGROUND &
objectivesThe Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) guidelines for thromboprophylaxis among post-partum women are recommended across Asia. This study was aimed to find the proportion of post-partum women eligible for thromboprophylaxis based on the RCOG guidelines and how many actually received it in a tertiary care health facility in south India.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was carried out on 1652 consecutive women who delivered in the setup of tertiary care. Risk stratification for venous thrombosis was done as per the RCOG guidelines. The number of women who received thromboprophylaxis was also noted.
resultsAmong the 1652 women studied, three [0.18%; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.06-0.53] were in the high-risk, 598 (36.2%; 95% CI: 33.9-38.6) in the intermediate and 254 (15.4%; 95% CI: 13.7-17.2) in the low-risk category for thrombosis. All the three women in the high-risk and only two women in the intermediate-risk category actually received thromboprophylaxis with heparin. INTERPRETATION &
conclusionsIt was seen that the number of women needing prophylaxis in our setup, as per the RCOG guidelines, was as high as 601 (36.4%), but only five (0.8%) received it.
