1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundChronic radiation intestinal injury (CRII) is the most common complication after pelvic malignancy radiation. Once hemorrhagic CRII patients suffer from lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (LE-DVT), hemostasis and anticoagulation therapy will be adopted simultaneously, but the treatment strategy is a paradox, as the condition is extremely intractable and serious. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of and risk factors for LE-DVT in CRII patients and explore the treatment of hemorrhagic CRII patients with LE-DVT.

methodsThis was a retrospective study, and a total of 608 hospitalized CRII patients after pelvic radiotherapy were included from November 2011 to October 2018. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to investigate the potential risk factors for LE-DVT in CRII patients. Furthermore, the treatment of hemorrhagic CRII patients with LE-DVT was explored.

resultsAmong the CRII patients, 94 (15.5%) were with suspicious symptoms of LE-DVT in the lower limbs, and 32 (5.3%) were diagnosed with LE-DVT. Among the patients with LE-DVT, 65.6% (21/32) had bleeding simultaneously, and 29 (90.6%) had anemia with 24 (75.0%) having moderate to severe anemia. Multivariate analysis showed that a recent surgical history (≤6 months) (OR = 5.761, 95% CI: 2.506~13.246,

conclusionThe prevalence of LE-DVT in hospitalized CRII patients was 5.3%. A recent surgical history, tumor recurrence or metastasis and a lower Hb level were independently associated with LE-DVT development in CRII patients. Colostomy could be a good choice for intractable hemorrhagic CRII patients with LE-DVT.
