Safety and efficacy of anticoagulant treatment in patients with ovarian vein thrombosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.

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
Background: The role of anticoagulation in ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is uncertain. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate safety and efficacy of anticoagulant treatment in OVT patients. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases up to April 2024. Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials and observational studies enrolling at least 10 adult patients with objectively diagnosed OVT and treated with any anticoagulants. The protocol was prospectively registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42021270883). Results: We included 17 observational studies (621 anticoagulated and 376 nonanticoagulated OVT patients); 9 studies enrolled mainly pregnancy/puerperium-related OVT. Most patients received heparins alone (45.7%) or proceeded to vitamin K antagonists (39.2%). The average treatment duration was ≤3 months in 8 studies (47.1%), >3 to ≤6 months in 6 studies (35.3%), and >6 months in 3 studies (17.6%). In treated patients, mortality rate was 2.43% (95% CI, 0.54%-5.41%; I Conclusion: There is paucity of literature regarding OVT. Our results suggest that anticoagulation is associated with low rates of major bleeding and recurrent VTE.
