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
Introduction: Despite the importance of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in hospitalized patients, audits have shown inadequate use of VTE prophylaxis methods around the world. We aimed to assess knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding VTE prophylaxis among clinicians in Nepal. Methodology: A cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey was conducted using an online survey platform. Results: 199 (60.7%) of the respondents were aware of the risk factors-based risk stratification approach to VTE prophylaxis in hospitalized patients. Only 154 (47%) of the physicians reported institute-based protocols for VTE prophylaxis. Conclusion: We found a significant lack of awareness on risk factors-based stratification strategy for VTE prevention practices among Nepalese physicians. We recommend educational efforts for Nepalese physicians on the overall impact of VTE on mortality and morbidity of hospitalized patients. Our study highlights the needs for adoption of institution-based protocols for VTE prophylaxis and prevention.
