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

Measuring D-dimer is commonly used as a surrogate to indicate a clot-forming process, with subsequent lysis. This test has two primary intended uses: (1) as aid to diagnosis of various conditions and (2) venous thromboembolism (VTE) exclusion. If the manufacturer cites a VTE exclusion claim, the D-dimer test must only be used in evaluating patients with a non-high or unlikely pretest probability for pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis. D-dimer kits with only aid to diagnosis claim should not be used for VTE exclusion. The intended use of the D-dimer may vary by region, and readership should consult manufacturer instructions for use to assure proper use of the assay. In this chapter, several methods for measuring D-dimer will be described.
