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

D-dimer and fibrinogen are nonspecific diagnostic biomarkers for venous thromboembolism (VTE). The aim of this article was to present the values of D-dimer and fibrinogen in relation to the anatomical localization of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This was an observational study, which included 1,142 patients hospitalized from 2010 to 2019 at the Department of Angiology, Clinical Center University of Sarajevo. Data on gender, age, and thrombosis location were collected of all patients. Fibrinogen and D-dimer values were available for 983 and 500 patients, respectively. Thrombosis location was classified as iliofemoral (521-45.6% patients), femoral-popliteal (486-42.6% patients), isolated calf DVT (63-5.5% patients), and upper extremity DVT (UEDVT in 72-6.3% patients). A majority, 448 (89.6%), of patients had high D-dimer (the cutoff is 0.55 mg/L) and 662 (67.3%) patients had high fibrinogen (reference range: 1.8-3.8 g/L). The highest D-dimer was detected in patients with iliofemoral DVT (mean: 10.48 mg/L), χ2 = 50.78,
