An analysis of the prevalence and risk factors of deep vein thrombosis in non-fracture patients awaiting total hip arthroplasty: a retrospective study of 1244 cases.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2024. 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
backgroundDeep vein thrombosis (DVT) has been one of the most dangerous complications in total hip arthroplasty (THA). If a patient's pre-surgical DVT is overlooked, it can easily be mistaken for a post-operative thrombus and lead to an increased risk of DVT during and after surgery. This retrospective study was to explore the incidence and associated risk factors of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in non-fracture patients before total hip arthroplasty (THA).
methodsFrom September 2015 to September 2020, 1242 patients admitted for THA were enrolled with 1120 patients (90.2%) for primary THA and 122 patients (9.8%) for revision THA. An experienced sonographer performed a bedside ultrasound to detect DVT in bilateral lower limbs preoperatively. Univariate and logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the independent risk factors.
results38 patients (3.1%) were detected with preoperative DVT. Univariate analysis showed that age (P < 0.001), D-dimer level (P = 0.002), female patients (P = 0.016), revision THA (P < 0.001), Barthel Index score (P = 0.010) were significantly associated with preoperative DVT. In subgroup comparison, the incidence of DVT increased with age significantly (P < 0.001) and D-dimer level (P < 0.001). In logistic regression analysis, age ≥ 75 years old (odds ratio [OR] 3.678, 95% CI [2.197-18.721], P < 0.001), gender (OR 2.709, 95% CI [1.244-5.896], P = 0.012), higher D-dimer ≥ 0.5 mg/l (OR 6.841, 95% CI [2.197-18.721], P < 0.001) and revision THA (OR 2.240, 95% CI [1.143-5.372], P = 0.05) were confirmed as the independent risk factors.
conclusionsThe incidence of preoperative DVT in non-fracture patients was 3.1%, with 2.4% in primary THA and 9.0% in revision THA. Age ≥ 75 years old, female, D-dimer ≥ 0.5 mg/l, and revision THA were independent risk factors. When evaluating the risk factors associated with thrombus formation preoperatively, it is important to take these into account before surgery.
