Deep vein thrombosis in response to stress induced by earthquakes in Japan: a meta-analysis of possible exacerbating factors.
Synthesis in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The principal goal of this study was to assess factors associated with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the aftermath of earthquakes in Japan. We searched PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library for articles published in English or Japanese regarding indicators for DVT associated with Japanese earthquakes. We calculated pooled odds ratios (OR) or mean differences (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for patients with DVT (the DVT group) as compared with the non-DVT group for potential predictors. Ultimately, 7 articles were included in the analysis, comprising 6,637 subjects (DVT, 895; and non-DVT, 5,742). The following factors proved statistically significant: female gender (OR = 1.48, 95% CI; 1.20-1.81, p = 0.0002), greater age (MD = 4.44, 95% CI; 1.62-7.25, p = 0.002), hypertension (OR = 1.44, 95% CI; 1.18-1.75, p = 0.0003), heart disease (OR = 1.45, 95% CI; 1.07-1.97, p = 0.02), previous history of DVT (OR = 9.23, 95% CI; 2.94-28.91, p = 0.0001), sleeping pill use (OR = 1.81, 95% CI; 1.37-2.38, p = 0.0001), lower leg varix (OR = 1.63, 95% CI; 1.17-2.28, p = 0.004), and soleal vein dilatation ≥ 8 mm (OR = 2.13, 95% CI; 1.32-3.42, p = 0.002). Our findings furnish insights that can aid in making informed choices about healthcare and policy in the context of earthquake-induced stress.
