Hand grip strength and risk of incident venous thromboembolism: The Tromsø study.
Article in Research and practice in thrombosis and haemostasis, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 8 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: Hand grip strength (HGS), a common proxy of whole-body muscular strength, is associated with a wide range of adverse health outcomes and mortality. However, there are limited data on the association between HGS and risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Objectives: We aimed to investigate the association between HGS and risk of incident VTE in a population-based cohort. Methods: Participants ( Results: During a median of 6.5 years of follow-up, 545 incident VTEs occurred. Participants with weak HGS had a 27% higher risk of VTE (HR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.03-1.57) compared to those with normal HGS. Subgroup analyses revealed that the point estimates were higher for unprovoked VTE (HR, 1.35; 95% CI, 0.96-1.91) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT; HR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.14-2.01). Similar results were found in analyses restricted to men, women, and elderly (aged greater than 75 years). Conclusion: A weak HGS was associated with increased risk of VTE, and particularly unprovoked VTE and isolated DVT. Our findings suggest that weak muscle strength may be a risk factor for VTE.
