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

objectiveTo explore the correlation between the fracture line inferior plane and perioperative deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in patients with tibial fractures.

methodsData was collected from the medical records of 536 consecutive patients with tibial fractures at Xi'an Honghui Hospital. The patients were divided into distal, shaft, and proximal segment groups according to the fracture line inferior plane on radiographs. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify the role of the inferior plane of the fracture line in perioperative DVT.

resultsA total of 431 patients were included in the study and 226 patients had perioperative DVT in the lower extremities, including 11 proximal and 215 distal DVTs. Univariate regression analysis showed a significant correlation between the proximal segment and perioperative DVT; however, no correlation was found in the shaft segment group. Additionally, age, coronary heart disease, associated injuries, and time to operation ≥6 days were risk factors for perioperative DVT. However, fixation with intramedullary nails may be a protective factor for perioperative DVT compared with plates. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, the proximal segment group had an increased incidence of perioperative DVT compared to the distal segment group.

conclusionsThe proximal segment may be correlated with an increased incidence of perioperative DVT by 7.30-fold in patients with tibial fractures compared to that in the distal segment. In clinical practice, surgeons should be vigilant for DVT formation in these patients.
