Incidence of Venous Thromboembolism: The 3
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) has gradually increased in the Korean population. This study aimed to evaluate the annual age- and sex-adjusted incidence rates (ASR) of VTE and anticoagulation trends between 2014 and 2018.
methodsUsing the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database, we retrospectively identified VTE patients between 2014 and 2018 using both diagnostic and medication anticoagulant codes assigned within 6 months of the initial index event. Anticoagulant patterns were classified as follows: direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC), parenteral anticoagulants, warfarin, and mixed anticoagulation regimens.
resultsWe identified 95,205 patients with VTE (female, 56.8%). The ASR for VTE per 100,000 person-years increased from 32.8 in 2014 to 53.7 cases in 2018 (relative risk of 1.63; 95% confidence interval, 1.6-1.67). The VTE incidence rates were 25 times higher in the ≥ 80 group than in the 30s group. VTE occurred 1.29 times more often in women than in men. The proportion of DOAC prescriptions increased from 40.5% to 72.8%, whereas warfarin prescriptions decreased from 27% to 5.6% in 2014 and 2018.
conclusionIn Korea, the ASRs of VTE continued to increase since 2014, but the rate of increase slowed in 2018. The VTE occurred more often in the elderly and in women. Five years after the introduction of DOACs in 2013, they accounted for 73% of all anticoagulants used to treat VTE.
