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: Gynecologic cancer is a significant public health concern worldwide, with three of the top ten most common cancers affecting women. The increasing incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and the disproportionately poor outcomes in cancer patients necessitates urgent intervention. This study aimed to analyze the factors affecting the survivability of cancer patients with DVT, especially among gynecologic and non-gynecologic cancers. Methods: An ambispective cohort study was conducted among gynecologic and non-gynecologic cancer patients with DVT, from January 2011 until August 2013. All subjects were observed for three months. The presence of DVT was confirmed using Doppler ultrasound. The analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. The statistical significance was determined using the log-rank/Mantel-Cox test. Results: Among 223 cancer subjects with DVT, 61.4% of the subjects developed short-term mortality. In the overall group, the survival time was significantly lower in subjects who developed immobilization status (p-value <0.001), advanced cancer stages (p-value <0.045), and infection status (p-value <0.001). In the gynecologic cancer group, the survival time was significantly lower in subjects who developed immobilization (p-value 0.007) and infection status (p-value 0.021). In the non-gynecologic cancer group, the survival time was significantly lower in subjects who developed immobilization (p-value 0.008), infection (p-value 0.002), undergo cancer surgery (p-value 0.024), and received high-risk systemic therapy (p-value 0.048). Additionally, the most common infection was pneumonia (29.6%). Conclusions: Both gynecologic and non-gynecologic cancer patients who experienced DVT developed a high short-term mortality. Our finding of immobility, infection, advanced cancer stages, systemic therapy, and cancer surgery as risk factors that affect the survivability highlights the necessity of administering secondary prophylaxis as a standard procedure in clinical practice.
