Does diabetes mellitus increase the incidence of early thrombosis in deep vein following unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
backgroundMany patients following unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) also suffer from diabetes mellitus, which may lead to an increased likelihood of postoperative deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Therefore, we evaluated whether DVT incidence would increase 3 days following UKA in diabetic patients.
methodsPatients who underwent UKA from August 2018 to September 2021 in our hospital were retrospectively included. Age, gender, body mass index, hypertension, mode of anesthesia, surgery time, intraoperative blood loss, tourniquet pressure and time, and glycosylated hemoglobin concentration were recorded as confounders. We compared the incidence and type of DVT between non-diabetic and diabetic patients and evaluated the effect of glycosylated hemoglobin levels on DVT.
resultsOf all the 224 patients, 96 had diabetes and 128 did not. Within 3 days after surgery, DVT occurred in 25 cases in the diabetic group and 17 cases in the non-diabetic group (p < 0.05), and the difference mainly exists in the lower limbs on the surgical side. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the risk of DVT in the diabetic group was 4.50 times higher compared with the non-diabetic group. For every 1 unit increase of glycosylated hemoglobin, the incidence of DVT increased 2.35 times. Differences in age, gender, body mass index, hypertension, mode of anesthesia, surgery time, intraoperative blood loss, tourniquet pressure, and time between the two groups were not significant.
conclusionsThe incidence of DVT in diabetic patients within 3 days after UKA was significantly higher than that in non-diabetic patients and was proportional to the concentration of glycosylated hemoglobin.
