1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveObesity is highly prevalent and a major risk factor for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and chronic venous disease. It can also technically limit duplex ultrasound evaluations for lower extremity DVT. We compared the rates and results of repeat lower extremity venous duplex ultrasound (LEVDUS) after an initial incomplete and negative (IIN) LEVDUS in overweight (body mass index [BMI] ≤25-30 kg/m

methodsWe performed a retrospective review of 617 patients with an IIN LEVDUS study from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2020. Demographic and imaging data of the patients with an IIN LEVDUS and the frequency of repeat studies performed within 2 weeks were abstracted from the electronic medical records. The patients were divided into three BMI-based groups: normal (BMI <25 kg/m

resultsOf the 617 patients with an IIN LEVDUS, 213 (34.5%) were normal weight, 177 (29%) were overweight, and 227 (37%) were obese. The repeat LEVDUS rates were significantly different across the three weight groups (P < .001). After an IIN LEVDUS, the rate of repeat LEVDUS for the normal weight, overweight, and obese groups was 46% (98 of 213), 28% (50 of 227), and 32% (73 of 227), respectively. The overall rates of thrombosis (both DVT and superficial vein thrombosis) in the repeat LEVDUS examinations were not significantly different among the normal weight (14%), overweight (11%), and obese (18%) patients (P = .431).
