Screening for Deep Vein Thrombosis Using D-dimer Levels Based on Surgical Patients' Characteristics.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Purpose Owing to the shortage of surgeons and the decrease in medical staff in regional medical care, reducing unnecessary tests can limit the burden on the staff. In this study, we aimed to examine the predictors of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), such as D-dimer levels in patients who underwent surgery at our hospital, and determine the feasibility of screening in these patients. Knowledge of D-dimer levels can indicate the risk of DVT in patients about to undergo surgery. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 310 of 1,059 surgical cases in which preoperative lower extremity ultrasonography was performed in our department between April 2021 and June 2024. We compared 46 patients with thrombi and 264 patients without thrombi. Results Patients with low body mass indices (<18.5 kg/m
