Minor trauma and venous thromboembolism: the threshold for antithrombotic prophylaxis.
Review in Haematologica, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Trauma is an established risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Whether minor trauma is linked to greater risk of VTE remains unclear given that many studies evaluating trauma and VTE risk have not differentiated risk by trauma severity. Furthermore, the underlying risk of VTE is not uniform across all injured patients. While it is generally accepted that severely and moderately injured patients requiring prolonged hospitalization benefit from early and consistent administration of thromboprophylaxis, the threshold for its initiation following minor injury or in patients managed in an ambulatory setting is less clear. This review will describe how trauma is classified, summarize the evidence of the risk of VTE in patients with minor trauma, and guide clinicians through an approach to individualize these treatment decisions based on contemporary evidence. Guidance will be provided for both injured patients requiring hospitalization (who may have severe, moderate or minor trauma), and those suitable to be managed in an ambulatory setting (minor trauma).
