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

Purpose: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) poses a significant threat to individuals' health, yet its correlation with mental disorders remains underappreciated. Here, we conducted a retrospective analysis to explore the characteristics of psychiatric patients presenting with VTE. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed psychiatric inpatients with elevated plasma D-dimer levels at the Mental Health Center, First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, from January 2014 to January 2022. The inclusion criteria comprised comprehensive demographic and clinical profiles, including laboratory and imaging findings. Results: A cohort of 33 eligible patients was included, with plasma D-dimer levels ranging from 880 to 10,700 μg/L FEU. Significantly higher D-dimer levels were observed in patients diagnosed with severe mental disorders (SMD), such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, compared to those with mild mental disorders (MMD), including depression and anxiety disorders (p = 0.007). Furthermore, individuals receiving antipsychotic medications for less than one year exhibited elevated D-dimer levels compared to those on treatment for over one year (p = 0.005). However, normalization of D-dimer levels did not demonstrate a significant association with psychiatric diagnosis or treatment duration (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that patients diagnosed with SMD or those undergoing antipsychotic treatment for less than one year may have elevated D-dimer levels, indicating a potential predisposition to VTE severity. This underscores the importance of recognizing VTE risk in individuals with severe mental disorders and warrants further investigation into the impact of antipsychotic treatment duration on thrombotic risk.
