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

backgroundPrevious studies in Western countries have shown that a hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) is associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE); in these cases, prophylactic anticoagulant treatment is suggested. However, the association between HHS and VTE in Asian populations remains undetermined. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate whether HHS is associated with an increased risk of VTE in diabetic Taiwanese patients.

methodsThis nationwide, population-based, retrospective cohort study was conducted using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. We enrolled a total of 4,723,607 admission records of patients with diabetes diagnosed with one or more of seven common diseases (pneumonia, urinary tract infection, sepsis, heart disease, stroke, malignancy, and respiratory tract disease) between 2001 and 2018 in Taiwan. The patients were divided into two groups based on the presence (

resultsOverall, patients admitted with HHS had a similar risk of VTE compared with those admitted without HHS (408/46,000 vs. 39,345/4,677,607; aOR = 1.06, 95% CI: 0.97-1.17,

conclusionsThere was no significant association between HHS and overall VTE risk in patients with diabetes in Taiwan. The results of our study may not support the use of prophylactic anticoagulant therapy in diabetic Taiwanese patients with HHS.
