Postoperative intermittent pneumatic compression for preventing venous thromboembolism in Chinese lung cancer patients: a randomized clinical trial.
Article in Thrombosis journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundPostoperative lung cancer patients belong to the high-risk group for venous thromboembolism (VTE). The standardized preventive measures for perioperative VTE in lung cancer are not perfect, especially for the prevention and treatment of catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) caused by carried central venous catheters (CVCs) in lung cancer surgery. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis study included 460 patients with lung cancer undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in our center from July 2020 to June 2021. Patients were randomized into two groups, and intraoperatively-placed CVCs would be carried to discharge. During hospitalization, the control group was treated with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), and the experimental group with LMWH + intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC). Vascular ultrasound was performed at three time points which included before surgery, before discharge, and one month after discharge. The incidence of VTE between the two groups was studied by the Log-binomial regression model.
resultsCRT occurred in 71.7% of the experimental group and 79.7% of the control group. The multivariate regression showed that the risk of developing CRT in the experimental group was lower than in the control group (Adjusted RR = 0.889 [95%CI0.799-0.989], p = 0.031), with no heterogeneity in subgroups (P for Interaction > 0.05). Moreover, the fibrinogen of patients in the experimental group was lower than control group at follow-up (P = 0.019).
conclusionIPC reduced the incidence of CRT during hospitalization in lung cancer patients after surgery.
