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

introductionVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major cause of non-cancer-related mortality in cancer patients. Understanding how demographic factors and cancer types influence VTE risk is critical for developing prevention strategies. This study investigates the incidence of VTE in a large cancer patient population, focusing on gender, race, and differences between solid and hematological malignancies.

methodsData from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database were used to identify cancer patients diagnosed with acute VTE. The patients were divided into those with solid and hematological cancers. Key demographic and clinical characteristics were collected, and patients were matched 1:1 using propensity scoring. Statistical analyses, including logistic regression, assessed VTE incidence and its associations with demographic and cancer type variables. A

resultsOut of 1,233,832 cancer patients, 63,505 (5.1%) were diagnosed with acute VTE. Females had a higher VTE rate than males (5.5% vs. 4.8%,

conclusionsThis study identifies demographic and cancer-specific differences in VTE risk, emphasizing the need for personalized prevention. High-risk groups, including those with solid tumors, females, and Black patients, may benefit from targeted strategies to reduce the burden of VTE and improve cancer outcomes.
