D-dimer/fibrinogen ratio for the prediction of deep venous thrombosis after traumatic spinal cord injury.
Article in Spinal cord, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
STUDY
designRetrospective cohort study.
objectivesTo evaluate the predictive value of D-dimer/fibrinogen (D/F) ratio for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI).
settingDepartment of Rehabilitation Medicine Center, West China Hospital, Sichuan University.
methodsSCI patients within 24 h of trauma were consecutively enrolled. DVT was diagnosed by DUS examination during hospitalization. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the relationship between D/F ratio and DVT. Stratified logistic regression analysis was performed to identify effect modifiers. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was conducted to assess the predictive value of D/F ratio.
resultsA total of 284 patients with SCI were included, of whom 106 (37.3%) developed DVT. D/F ratio was positively correlated with DVT (OR 1.17, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04-1.31, p = 0.009). Patients in the upper D/F ratio tertile (3.15-18.27) had a higher risk of DVT than patients in the lower tertile (0.08-0.97) after adjustment for potential confounders (OR 6.01, 95% CI 2.24-16.15, p < 0.001). The risk of DVT increased stepwise across D/F ratio tertiles (p for trend = 0.003). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.758 (95% CI 0.704-0.806). There was a significant interaction between D/F ratio and neurological level of injury (p for interaction = 0.003) and the association between D/F ratio and DVT remained significant only in patients with cervical injury.
conclusionsA higher D/F ratio was independently associated with a higher risk of DVT in a dose-dependent manner in patients with cervical SCI.
