Factors associated with venous thromboembolic disease due to failed thromboprophylaxis.
Article in Thrombosis journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionAvailable evidence to identify factors independently associated with failed thromboprophylaxis (FT) in medical patients is insufficient. The present study seeks to evaluate in hospitalized patients, which clinical factors are associated with the development of FT. MATERIALS AND
methodsA case-control study nested to a historical cohort, comparing patients who developed failed thromboprophylaxis (cases) with those who did not (controls). Univariate and multivariate regression analysis was performed to define the factors associated with FT.
resultsWe selected 204 cases and 408 controls (52.4% men, median age 63 years). Medical patients were 78.4%. The most frequent thromboprophylaxis scheme was enoxaparin. In the failed thromboprophylaxis group, most of the embolic events corresponded to pulmonary embolism (53.4%). Among cases, BMI was higher (26.3 vs. 25 kg/m2, p < 0.001), as was the proportion of patients with leukocytosis > 13,000 (27% vs. 18.9%, p:0.22), and patients who required intensive care management (48% vs. 24.8%, p < 0.001). Factors independently associated with FT were BMI (OR1.04;95%CI 1.00-1.09, p:0.39), active cancer (OR:1.63;95%IC 1.03-2.57, p:0.04), leukocytosis (OR:1.64;95%CI 1.05-2.57, p:0.03) and ICU requirement (OR:3.67;95%CI 2.31-5.83, p < 0.001).
conclusionOur study suggests that the failed thromboprophylaxis is associated with high BMI, active cancer, leukocytosis, and ICU requirement. Future studies should evaluate whether there is benefit in adjusting the thromboprophylaxis scheme in patients with one or more of these factors.
