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

objectiveDeep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common complication after traumatic lower limb fractures. This study aims to investigate the risk factors associated with DVT after traumatic lower limb fractures and to analyze their values in clinical practice.

methodsPatients were classified into DVT and Non-DVT groups based on the occurrence of DVT during the perioperative period. These data were statistically analyzed to screen for risk factors for DVT after traumatic lower limb fractures and to analyze thrombus regression 1 month after surgery.

resultsDVT occurred in 39.29% (77/196) patients during the perioperative period. The incidence of DVT varied, with a high incidence of 46.67% for femoral neck/trochanteric fractures. Patients in the DVT group were characterized by older age, higher perioperative blood transfusion (both p < 0.001), higher fibrinogen (FIB) on admission (p < 0.001), significant postoperative Hb decline (p = 0.023) and higher D-D (p = 0.001). Age greater than 65 years, comorbid diabetes mellitus, and postoperative Hb decline of 30 g/L were independent risk factors for DVT in the perioperative period in patients with traumatic lower limb fractures. For every 1 SD increase in FIB and D-D, patients had a 1.01-fold (95% CI, 0.99 to 4.25) and 2.75-fold (95% CI, 1.055 to 7.25) increased risk of DVT, respectively.

conclusionDVT complicating traumatic lower limb fractures is strongly associated with a variety of risk factors, of which advanced age and significantly higher D-D on admission are two of the most critical.
