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

backgroundThe treatment and prevention of perinatal venous thromboembolism (VTE) are challenging because of the potential for both fetal and maternal complications.

methodsThis study developed a rapid assessment scale for VTE and evaluate its validity based on Delphi-AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) method in China. The research was conducted by literature retrieval and two rounds of Delphi expert consultation. The item pools of the scale were developed and a questionnaire was designed according to literature retrieval published between 2010 and 2020. A survey was conducted among experts from 25 level A hospitals in China, and data of experts' opinions were collected and analyzed by the Delphi method.

resultsA perinatal VTE risk assessment scale was formed, including 5 first-level items, 20 s-level items and 40 third-level items. The response rates in the two rounds of expert consultation were 97.4% and 98.0%, and the authoritative coefficients were 0.89 and 0.92. The coefficients of variation ranged from 0.04 to 0.28.

conclusionsThe scale is significantly valid and reliable with a high authority and coordination degree, and it can be used to assess the risk of perinatal VTE and initiate appropriate thrombophylactic interventions in China.
