Weight-adjusted dosing of tinzaparin for thromboprophylaxis in obese medical patients.
Article in Research and practice in thrombosis and haemostasis, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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: The optimal dose of tinzaparin for prophylaxis in obese medical patients is not well defined. Objectives: To evaluate the anti-Xa activity in obese medical patients on tinzaparin prophylaxis adjusted for actual bodyweight. Methods: Patients with a body mass index of ≥30 kg/m Results: We included 121 plasma samples from 66 patients (48.5% women), with a median weight of 125 kg (range, 82-300 kg) and a median body mass index of 41.9 kg/m Conclusion: Dosing of tinzaparin adjusted for actual bodyweight in obese patients achieved anti-Xa activity in the target range for most patients, without accumulation or overdosing. In addition, there is a significant difference in thrombin generation depending on the injection site.
