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

objectivesTo compare inpatient compliance with venous thromboembolism prophylaxis regimens.

designA secondary analysis of patients enrolled in the ADAPT (A Different Approach to Preventing Thrombosis) randomized controlled trial.

settingLevel I trauma center. PATIENTS/

participantsPatients with operative extremity or any pelvic or acetabular fracture requiring venous thromboembolism prophylaxis.

interventionWe compared patients randomized to receive either low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) 30 mg or aspirin 81 mg BID during their inpatient admission. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: The primary outcome measure was the number of doses missed compared with prescribed number of doses.

resultsA total of 329 patients were randomized to receive either LMWH 30 mg BID (164 patients) or aspirin 81 mg BID (165 patients). No differences observed in percentage of patients who missed a dose (aspirin: 41.2% vs LMWH: 43.3%,

conclusionsThese data should reassure clinicians that inpatient compliance is similar for low molecular weight heparin and aspirin regimens.
