Deep Venous Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism Secondary to Mild Traumatic Injury in an Elderly Male With No Additional Risk Factors.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a significant cardiovascular disease with a relatively high incidence rate, presenting a significant clinical burden. Its effective diagnosis and treatment are critical to the proper management of patients with the condition. Though there are several risk factors associated with VTE, advanced age itself presents as particularly significant, with age-related risk alone leading to high incidences of VTE in elderly patients even in the absence of other risk factors or relevant medical history. We present such a case of an elderly male patient with limited risk factors beyond advanced age who nonetheless presented with symptoms of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) following a mild traumatic injury, and upon further inspection, was found to have a pulmonary embolism (PE). Proper precautions taken in assessing potential PE upon initial discovery of DVT and post-diagnostic management were critical in this patient's outcome.
