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

Background: Prevention of death from in-hospital pulmonary thromboembolism (PE) is crucial, but research exploring the risk factors for this event remains limited. Methods and Results: This retrospective analysis evaluated PE data among hospitalized patients, focusing on the diseases present on admission to hospital with the highest number of patients with in-hospital PE events, using the Medical Data Vision database (January 2017-December 2021). Endpoints included the incidence rate of in-hospital PE, patient characteristics, and PE prophylactic procedures. Overall, 4,684,659 patients (in-hospital PE cohort, n=5,007; non-PE cohort, n=4,679,952) were eligible: heart failure (n=208; n=87,160), femoral fracture (n=478; n=139,049), pneumonia (n=309; n=222,257), stroke (n=351; n=248,805), and cancer (n=934; n=764,413). The incidence rate of in-hospital PE in the overall population was 20.6/1,000 person-years: heart failure (34.6), femoral fracture (35.3), pneumonia (21.4), stroke (15.9), and cancer (25.6). History of venous thromboembolism (VTE) was a risk factor for in-hospital PE in >50% of patients in all subgroups. Prophylactic PE procedures were implemented in 33.8% of the overall population: femoral fracture (79.5%), cancer (49.7%), stroke (24.2%), heart failure (12.7%), and pneumonia (6.2%). Conclusions: The incidence of in-hospital PE was not high overall but was higher in patients with a history of VTE and those with hospitalization due to heart failure or femoral fracture. Risk assessment for in-hospital PE, including medical history and diagnosis at admission, is preferred in hospitalized patients.
