Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials on primary ambulatory thromboprophylaxis in patients with ovarian cancer receiving chemotherapy.

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
Ovarian cancer (OC) is highly associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE). The OC cells stimulate thrombin generation, and chemotherapy potentiates the prothrombotic effect of cancer cells by damaging endothelium and enhancing hypercoagulability. Recently, primary ambulatory thromboprophylaxis (PATP) has been studied as a potential treatment in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy with an aim of reducing the incidence of VTE and potentially prolonging survival. A meta-analysis was performed of randomized controlled trials of PATP vs control in patients with OC receiving chemotherapy. The primary outcome measure was the incidence of VTE. The secondary outcome measure was the incidence of major bleeding complications. Two articles published between 2012 and 2020 fulfilled selection criteria. The incidence of VTE was 0.9% in the PATP group and 1.8% in the control group. However, the pooled risk ratio was not statistically significant at 0.69 (95% CI: 0.08 to 5.67;
