Effectiveness of a multidisciplinary care program for the management of venous thromboembolism in cancer patients: a pilot study.
Observational study in Journal of thrombosis and thrombolysis, 2022. 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
introductionTreatment of Venous thromboembolism (VTE) in cancer patients is challenging due to higher risk of VTE recurrence or bleeding under anticoagulants. We assessed the effectiveness of a dedicated "Allo-Thrombosis Cancer" multidisciplinary care program (AlloTC-MCP) that incorporated individualized care, regular follow-ups, telephone counselling, and a patient education program. METHODS AND MATERIALS: From September 2017 to October 2019, 100 consecutive cancer patients with new VTE onset were enrolled in this observational single-center prospective pilot study and received standard (control group, n = first 50 patients enrolled) or AlloTC-MCP care (n = next 50 patients enrolled) over a 6-month VTE treatment follow-up period. Primary end-point was the percentage of adherence to the International Clinical Practice Guidelines (ITAC-CPGs) at 6 (M6) month follow-up.
resultsAmong the 100 patients with different cancer types (22% genitourinary, 19% breast, 16% gastrointestinal, 15% lymphoma, 11% lung and 17% others), 51 patients (61%) had metastatic disease and 31 (31%) received chemotherapy alone. Main baseline cancer and VTE clinical characteristics did not differ between the 2 groups. Adherence rates to ITAC-CPGs was significantly higher in the AlloTC-MCP group (100% (M0), 72% (M3) and 68% (M6)) compared with the control group (84% (M0), 8% (M3) and 16% (M6)). Quality of Life (QoL) was significantly improved in the AlloTC-MCP group 6 months after inclusion.
conclusionThe "AlloTC-MCP" was associated with improved adherence to ITAC-CPGs and merits further expansion.
