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

Clinically unsuspected venous thromboembolism (VTE) in children is defined as a VTE diagnosed via imaging test performed for surveillance (i.e., with an intent to identify clinically silent VTEs) or incidentally found (most often via imaging performed for evaluation of regional pathology unrelated to VTE) in the absence of any VTE-associated signs or symptoms. Our understanding of the clinical significance of these events in children is limited by a paucity of data on the epidemiology and outcomes of this complication. There is an urgent need for further research in this area to inform optimal management. Recognizing this knowledge gap, this Task Force has previously published a systematic review of the literature in this topic. We now provide guidance recommendations for standardization of definitions and identify future research needs on clinically unsuspected VTE in children. These recommendations will serve to enhance the quantity and quality of evidence on the topic and facilitate the design and execution of cooperative observational studies, and interventional trials of risk-stratified management approaches aimed at preventing and optimizing long-term outcomes of clinically unsuspected VTE in children.
