Proportion and risk factors for hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism in children: a systematic review and meta-analysis of data from 20 million individuals in 22 countries.

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: Hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE) in children has been widely regarded. Objectives: We aimed to analyze the proportion and risk factors for HA-VTE in hospitalized children. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive systematic search across 4 databases from 1990 to 2023. Cochran Q test was used to evaluate the heterogeneity of the effect sizes of study, and I Results: In total, 105 original papers and 20,718,294 patients were included in the study, and the proportion of HA-VTE in children was 4.1% (95% CI, 2.9%-5.2%). Although the proportion of venous thromboembolism increased over the various research periods, the differences were not statistically significant. In the subgroup analysis based on country, the proportion of pediatric HA-VTE was lowest in the United Kingdom and highest in Spain, whereas when based on region, the proportion was lowest in Asia and highest in North America. Multiple HA-VTE risk factors were identified, including central venous catheter use, age of >10 years, surgery, injury, infection, obesity, mechanical ventilation, blood transfusion, malignancy, coagulation and hemorrhagic disorders, and length of hospital stay. Conclusion: In this study, we systematically analyzed the proportion and risk factors of HA-VTE in hospitalized children. Our findings provide valuable insights for the prevention and treatment of HA-VTE in pediatric patients.
