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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAccording to published guidelines, gynecologic surgical patients should be stratified into different risk level groups to receive prophylaxis for venous thromboembolism (VTE), but the applicability of available risk assessment models (RAMs) in common gynecologic surgical patients remained to be confirmed. We aimed to validate the use of the Caprini RAM and gynecologic Caprini (G-Caprini) RAM for assessing postoperative VTE risk in gynecologic surgical patients.
methodsThe database of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) was used to select patients who underwent gynecologic surgeries for benignant and malignant diseases in five institutions in China between 2011 and 2018. The Caprini RAM version recommended by the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) was adopted. Participants were divided into four risk levels based on the Caprini and G-Caprini scores. For each risk level group, the incidence of VTE was calculated. The correlation between VET incidence and risk levels was assessed by Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (RS) value.
resultsAs a result, 800 patients in the data base were analyzed with an overall VTE incidence of 5.8%. Caprini RAM showed that the percentage of patients at very low risk, low risk, moderate risk, and high risk were 0%, 4.3%, 44.4%, and 51.4%, respectively, and the VTE incidence was 2.9%, 2.3%, and 9.0%, respectively. RS value between the risk stratification and VTE incidence was 0.500 (P=0.667). G-Caprini RAM showed that the percentage of patients at very low risk, low risk, moderate risk, and high risk were 7.8%, 28.0%, 32.0%, and 32.3%, respectively, and the VTE incidence was 0.0%, 2.9%, 2.3%, and 9.0%, respectively. RS value between the risk stratification and VTE incidence was 1.000 (P<0.01).
conclusionsThe G-Caprini RAM was as suitable as the Caprini RAM for VTE risk assessment in gynecologic surgical patients. The gynecologic model has the advantages of ease of use and more accurate identification of low-risk groups.
