Inherited Thrombophilia and Risk of Thrombosis in Children with Cancer: a Single-center Experience.
Article in Acta medica academica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesThrombosis is an increasingly recognized complication of childhood malignancy and its treatment. The incidence and etiology of pediatric cancer-related thrombosis is still not well understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of common prothrombotic genetic conditions in children with cancer, the frequency of thrombosis, and the role of inherited thrombophilia in the development of thrombosis in a pediatric oncology population. PATIENTS AND
methodsForty-seven children (36 treated for hematological malignancies and 11 for solid tumors) with a median age of 8.8. years (range 0.4 - 19.3 years) were included in the study. Genetic polymorphisms of Factor V Leiden (G1691A), prothrombin G20210A, and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction-based DNA analysis.
resultsFour (8.5%) patients were heterozygous for Factor V Leiden, 3 (6.4%) were heterozygous for prothrombin G20210A mutation, and 3 (6.4%) were homozygous for MTHFR C677T mutation. All patients had implanted central venous catheters. Four (8.5%) children had documented thrombosis, three of which were in the upper venous system. Two of the four patients with thrombosis had Factor V Leiden heterozygosity.
conclusionsThrombosis is an important complication of childhood cancer. The risk of thrombosis may be increased in patients with Factor V Leiden. In the absence of consensus guidelines, our results support the recommendation for thrombophilia screening in children with cancer.
