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

There are many known risk factors for the development of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). However, a recently observed risk factor is prolonged sitting (or immobility) for occupational dispensation. Some occupations, especially electronic information technology (IT) professionals, computer gamers, programmers, etc., are amenable to prolonged sitting periods for their work. Such a trend significantly increased in the corporate world during the covid pandemic restrictions and work-from-home policy of the IT companies. We have reported a case of the sudden death of an IT professional due to DVT and PTE. There is a conspicuous indication of the association between prolonged sitting hours and the development of DVT and PTE. This is also known as e-thrombosis. The prolonged seated immobility thromboembolic syndrome is a recently observed phenomenon in professionals having prolonged seated working styles. This paper is a case-based review of all tenets, i.e., clinical presentation, autopsy pathology, and preventive measures of the prolonged seated immobility thromboembolism associated with a sedentary working style.
