Reliability of Risk Assessment for Intra-Hospital Venous Thromboembolism: An Exploratory Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 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
Objective: Hospital-associated venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major cause of unintended death in hospitalized patients. Standardized and reasonable prevention measures may reduce its occurrence effectively. This study aims to analyze the consistency of VTE risk assessment by physicians and nurses and its potential causes. Methods: A total of 897 patients admitted to Shanghai East Hospital from December 2021 to March 2022 were recruited. The VTE assessment scores of physicians and nurses and the activities of daily living (ADL) scores within the first 24 h of admission were collected for each patient. Cohen's Kappa values were calculated to assess the inter-rater consistency of these scores. Results: VTE scores were fairly consistent between doctors and nurses in both surgical (Kappa = 0.30, 95% CI: 0.25-0.34) and non-surgical (Kappa = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.31-0.38) departments. There was moderate agreement in VTE risk assessment between doctors and nurses in surgical departments (Kappa = 0.50, 95% CI: 0.38-0.62) while fair agreement in VTE risk assessment between doctors and nurses in non-surgical departments (Kappa = 0.32, 95% CI: 0.26-0.40). The assessment of the mobility impairment component was fairly consistent between doctors and nurses in the non-surgical departments (Kappa = 0.31, 95% CI: 0.25-0.37). Conclusion: Due to the poor consistency of VTE risk assessment between doctors and nurses, it is necessary to provide systematic training and develop a standardized assessment process for healthcare professionals to construct a scientific and effective VTE prevention and treatment system.
