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

backgroundThe decline in the mental well-being of young adults following an episode of venous thromboembolism may be related to the uncertainty of long-term health and fear of recurrence. In recent years, post-pulmonary embolism syndrome has gained acceptance, however, less attention has been given to the psychological impact on young patients after venous thromboembolism. This study explores the prevalence, type, and severity of psychological disorders of patients following venous thromboembolism.

methodsA retrospective observational cohort study was performed of over 18-year-old patients diagnosed with venous thromboembolism followed in the Vascular Medicine Service at Hospital Privado de Córdoba, Argentina from July 2020 to October 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual interviews were conducted using two pre-established questionnaires administered by the same psychiatrist. The first questionnaire gathered personal data, clinical history, and mental health information, while the second, evaluated mood disorders using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview. Patients with a positive MINI score underwent further assessment using the Hamilton Scale. Patients were considered young if ≤45 years.

resultsA total of 50 patients were assessed, 56 % were women, and 54 % were ≤45 years. Major depression was documented in 11 (22 %) patients, eight (72 %) in the younger group, and three (28 %) in the older group. Eight (16 %) patients had an anxiety disorder, four in the younger group, and ten (20 %) patients had post-traumatic stress disorder, seven (70 %) of the younger patients. Generalized anxiety disorder was identified in 20 (40 %) patients with similar proportions in both groups.

conclusionPsychological and emotional symptoms are common following an episode of venous thromboembolism. Post-traumatic stress disorder and depression appear to be numerically more prevalent in the young.
