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

Introduction: Despite heightened risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in hospitalized patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), pharmacologic prophylaxis remains underutilized, particularly in those presenting with hematochezia. Although placement of retrievable inferior vena cava filters (rIVCF) may be considered in those with contraindications to anticoagulation and VTE risk, current recommendations from clinical guidelines are incongruent, leading to wide variation in practice. Case Presentation: This report highlights a case of rIVCF used in the management of recurrent VTEs in a patient hospitalized for persistent gastrointestinal bleeding. Conclusion: Our case demonstrates the need for a lower threshold for initiating VTE prophylaxis in patients with active IBD, even when hematochezia is the presenting symptom. A small group of patients with recurrent VTE and clear contraindications to anticoagulation may require IVCFs, necessitating close follow-up and monitoring for filter complications.
