The burden and predictors of venous thromboembolic diseases in patients with multiple primary malignancies.
Article in Cancer reports (Hoboken, N.J.), 2023. 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
backgroundVenous thromboembolism (VTE) represents a considerable burden on cancer patients' survival and quality of life, but this burden varies based on the patient's baseline characteristics and cancer-related factors. Although solid evidence on the predictors and effect of VTE in cancer patients exists.
aimTo evaluate VTE rate, morbidity, and mortality to develop parameters that could predict VTEs and their associated mortality in patients with multiple primary malignancies (MPMs). METHOD AND
resultsThis was a retrospective cohort study that took place at King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Two hundred and forty-two patients with at least two biopsy-proven malignancies and had at least 3 months of follow-up after MPMs diagnosis were included. VTE was diagnosed in 14.5% of the cases, two-thirds of which were deep vein thrombosis. VTE was significantly associated with a higher mortality and worse survival. Predictors of VTE after MPMs diagnosis were a high ECOG performance status at MPMs diagnosis, a metastatic first primary malignancy, and ICU admission after MPMs diagnosis. Having a GI or hematological malignancy as the second primary malignancy, a high D-dimer at ICU admission, and palliative care referral were significantly associated with a higher mortality in patients who had VTE.
conclusionVTE was diagnosed in 14.5% of patients with MPMs and it significantly compromises their survival. We believe that these results might be of particular benefit since the phenomenon of MPMs is becoming more frequently encountered.
