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

backgroundHospital-acquired deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality.

objectivesThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of proximal lower limb DVT and isolated distal DVT (IDDVT) and their relationship to the Padua Prediction Score (PPS) in acutely ill, hospitalized patients.

methodsIn a single-center cross-sectional study, all inpatients from medical departments with suspected lower-extremity DVT were evaluated with whole-leg ultrasonography during 183 days from 2016 to 2017.

resultsAmong the 505 inpatients (age 78.0 ± 13.3, females 59.2%) from medical departments, 204 (40.2%) had PPS ≥ 4, but only 54.4% of them underwent pharmacological thrombo-prophylaxis. Whole-leg ultrasonography detected 47 proximal DVTs (9.3%) and 65 IDDVTs (12.8%). Proximal DVT prevalence was higher in patients with high PPS vs. those with low PPS (12.7% vs. 7.0%

conclusionsIn hospitalized patients, IDDVT had similar prevalence regardless of PPS risk stratification. Adherence to thrombo-prophylaxis in patients was still far from optimal.
