Predictors of pregnancy-associated venous thromboembolism: A case-control study.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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: Venous thromboembolism (VTE), manifesting as pulmonary embolism (PE) or deep vein thrombosis (DVT), is the most common cause of morbidity and death during pregnancy and the postpartum period. We conducted this study to describe the predictors of pregnancy-associated VTE (DVT and PE). Methods: A case-control study was conducted at a tertiary care center in Riyadh. A total of 380 patients were included in this study, 180 of whom were diagnosed with pregnancy-associated thrombosis and 200 of them showed no VTE. Demographic data and data on risk factors of VTE were collected by reviewing the medical charts and the risk assessment tool of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, respectively. The main outcome measures were VTE, manifesting as PE or DVT. Results: The following factors were identified as the predictors of VTE through multivariate analysis: family history [Odds ratio (OR) = 50.47, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 6.78-375.64, Conclusions: The findings of this study showed that family history, thrombophilia, and the presence of gross varicose veins were risk factors for VTE, exceeding other transient risk factors. Hence, prophylaxis is highly recommended for those women who present with any of these factors.
