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

Background: The association of COVID-19 with venous thromboembolism is of particular interest as there are reports that have associated thrombotic events with the pandemic. COVID-19 may predispose to venous thromboembolism. There is initial evidence suggesting that individuals with COVID-19 may be more prone to developing venous thromboembolism (VTE). This study aims to assess venous thromboembolism and associated factors in 19 patients admitted to Addis Ababa's field hospital for COVID-19. Objective: To identify associated factors that affect the development of thromboembolism in patients admitted with the diagnosis of COVID-19. Methods: To determine the risks of VTE patients, an institution-based case control research was conducted using SPSS version 26, multivariable binary logistic regression analysis was used. Results: Significant factors associated with the development of VTE in COVID-19 patients included having a severe case (AOR = 0.38, 95% CI = 0.149-0.961), risk factors for VTE (AOR = 2.57, 95% CI = 1.18-5.33), diabetes (AOR = 3.745, 95% CI = 1.715-8.176), chest pain (AOR = 4.13, 95% CI = 1.89-9), stage 1 hypertension levels (AOR = 3.67, 95% CI = 1.37-9.836), and hospital anticoagulation (AOR = 11.78, 95% CI = 5.25-26.4). Conclusion: The results of VTE in individuals with COVID-19 imply a direct association between severe COVID-19 and diabetes, having risk factors, hypertension, and hospital anticoagulation.
