Risk factors for venous thromboembolism in patients with spinal cord injury: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in The journal of spinal cord medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
contextPatients with spinal cord injury (SCI) are at high risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). The risk factors for VTE in patients with SCI are complex.
objectiveThis meta-analysis was conducted to clarify the risk factors for VTE in patients with SCI.
methodsThe Cochrane Library, PubMed, EBSCO, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), Wanfang Med Data Database, and VIP Database were searched to identify studies reporting on risk factors for VTE in patients with SCI.
resultsThe meta-analysis included 25 studies. Findings showed that risk of VTE in patients with SCI was significantly associated with middle- and old-age (OR = 2.08, 95%CI, 1.47, 2.95), male sex (OR = 1.41, 95%CI, 1.26, 1.59), complete paralysis (OR = 3.69, 95%CI, 2.60, 5.24), personal/family history of venous thrombosis (OR = 1.95, 95%CI, 1.35, 2.81), history of smoking (OR = 2.67, 95%CI, 1.79, 3.98), lack of compression therapy (OR = 2.44, 95%CI, 1.59, 3.73), presence of lower limb/pelvic fracture (OR = 3.47, 95%CI, 1.79, 6.75), paraplegia (OR = 1.81, 95%CI, 1.49, 2.19), and diabetes (OR = 4.24, 95%CI, 2.75, 6.52).
conclusionThe meta-analysis identified 9 risk factors for VTE in patients with SCI. Healthcare providers should be aware of the risk factors for VTE when rehabilitating patients with SCI.
