Assessment of knowledge and practice of venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis after cesarean section among gynecologists and obstetricians in Al-Najaf hospitals.
Observational study in Journal of medicine and life. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06729021 (Predictive Efficacy of Modified Caprini Score and D-Dimer for the Evaluation and Management of Lower Extremity Venous Thrombosis Among Cardiothoracic Surgery Patients in Baghdad), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates after cesarean sections. VTE is likely four-time greater following cesarean section than normal vaginal delivery. Despite a large number of published studies and the availability of well-evidenced guideline recommendations for VTE prevention, it is evident that these guidelines are poorly implemented with suboptimal use of a prophylactic thrombotic agent. The objective of our study was to assess the knowledge and practice of gynecologists and obstetricians about guidelines of VTE prophylaxis after cesarean section. An observational study included 57 gynecologists and obstetricians from all hospitals in Al-Najaf province. The study used a validated questionnaire consisting of 40 items where the correct response scored 1, giving an overall total score of 40. The total overall knowledge and practice score was calculated for participants, and the knowledge and practice levels were evaluated. Only 57 participants out of 67 completed the study giving a response rate of 85%. The mean overall score of practice and adherence was 0.51±0.09. This study showed inadequate practice towards VTE and poor adherence to prophylaxis guidelines because of many barriers, mainly the cost, poor patient adherence, and inconvenience to use guidelines in our patients.
