Mortality and Change in the Prevalence of Deep Vein Thrombosis Associated With SARS-CoV-2 P.1 Variant.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background and objective Thrombosis is one of the significant challenges associated with cardiovascular diseases and a prominent cause of death globally. This study aimed to determine the monthly and overall mortality rates by sex and age group in patients hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the prevalence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in those patients. We also investigated whether the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) P.1 variant influenced DVT. Methods We determined the overall prevalence of COVID-19 per sex, age, and monthly mortality using hospital data at the São José do Rio Preto School of Medicine, state of São Paulo, Brazil. Data of COVID-19 patients with DVT as determined by echo-Doppler ultrasound (EDU) were analyzed by taking two time periods into account (prior to and after the onset of the predominance of the SARS-CoV-2 P.1 variant) to evaluate whether the viral variant exerted an influence on the prevalence of DVT. Patients with COVID-19 but without DVT comprised the control group. The first period was from March 2020 to February 2021, and the second was from March to June 2021. Results Between March 2020 and June 2021, 6,199 patients were hospitalized with COVID-19 at our institution. Of these, 2,805 (45.25%) were women and 3,376 (54.47%) were men. Two hundred fifty-four were diagnosed with DVT based on lower limb EDU. The mean mortality rate was significantly associated with sex (38.36% for men and 27.16% for women; p=0.01). The incidence of DVT in patients with COVID-19 rose significantly from 1.6% during the first study period to 7.7% during the second study period (p=0.0001), when the P.1 variant became the predominant strain. The mortality rate was significantly higher in patients with COVID-19 and DVT (58.1%) compared to the control group (33.6%; p=0.0001). Conclusion Based on our findings, the incidence and prevalence of DVT increased with the predominance of P.1. viral variant. Early diagnosis and the reassessment of prophylaxis are the two most important factors to be addressed in this patient population.
