The association between self-rated health, health-related quality of life, and risk of venous thromboembolism.

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
Poor self-rated health (SRH) is associated with various adverse health outcomes, including cardiovascular disease. Little is known about SRH and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) as predictors of first-time venous thromboembolism (VTE). Our aim was to investigate the association between SRH, HRQoL, and risk of VTE in a whole cohort, as well as in women and men separately. A total of 108,025 middle-aged inhabitants (51 % women) of Västerbotten, Sweden, participated in a health examination between 1985 and 2014. Data on SRH, HRQoL, and potential confounders were collected by questionnaire. Participants were followed as a cohort and validated first-time VTE events were registered. The mean follow-up time was 13.9 years, during which 2054 participants experienced a first-time VTE. Overall, 27 % of participants reported their health as very good, 46 % as good, 20 % as average, 5 % as somewhat bad, and 1 % as bad. In a multivariable analysis, compared with participants who self-rated as having very good SRH, hazard ratios (95 % confidence intervals) for VTE were 1.17 (1.02-1.33) with good SRH, 1.27 (1.09-1.47) with average SRH, and 1.48 (1.00-2.18) with bad SRH. The risk of VTE increased with lower SRH for both men (
