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

Background: The evaluation of VTE risk using risk assessment scales for each hospitalized patient is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. The purpose of this study was to compare the predictive accuracy of two common assessment scales, the Autar and Padua deep vein thrombosis (DVT) risk assessment scales. Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted on 228 ICU hospitalized patients. The risk of VTE was estimated using the Autar and Padua scales during the first 48 hours after admission. The predictive accuracy of the above two risk assessment scales for VTE in ICU patients was compared based on the area under the receiver operating curve (ROC). Results: Results of ROC analysis indicated the area under the curve (AUC) values for the Autar (0.61 ± 0.05) and Pauda (0.53 ± 0.06). Log-rank test showed no difference in AUCs ( Conclusion: The AUC, accuracy, and LR+ of the Autar risk assessment scale were higher than the Padua scale in predicting VTE. However, both scales had excellent reliability, high sensitivity and low specificity. It is recommended that the risk of VTE is recorded by the Autar scale for patients admitted to ICUs. It can help the healthcare team in the use of prophylaxis for those that are at high risk for VTE.
