High preoperative D-dimer increases the risk of venous thromboembolism after gynecological tumor surgeries: a meta-analysis of cohort studies.

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
The role of preoperative D-dimer in the prediction of postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) with gynecological tumor remains unclear. This meta-analysis sought to assess the association between preoperative D-dimer and the risk of VTE after gynecological tumor surgeries and to identify prognostic significance of D-dimer in the prediction of postoperative VTE. This study was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 statement. Eight electronic databases were searched for cohort studies from the date of inception to April 2024. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale scoring tool and the Risk of Bias in Non-Randomized Studies-Intervention tool were used to assess the quality of the literature and the risk of bias in cohort studies, respectively. The relative risk and 95% CIs of the highest vs the lowest category and per milligram per liter of D-dimer were pooled relative to the VTE risk after gynecological tumor surgeries. Fifteen studies that met the criteria were included. Among these studies, D-dimer was considered as a continuous variable in 8 studies. The random-effect model results showed that the VTE risk was increased by 42% (15%-69%) per milligram per liter increase in D-dimer. Furthermore, based on the cutoff thresholds of D-dimer, 7 studies that reported the effect estimates of postoperative VTE in women with gynecological tumor by D-dimer were categorized as binary variables. Compared with the reference levels, the pooled relative risk of VTE after gynecological tumor surgeries for the higher level was 2.58 (95% CI, 1.49-4.47). Elevated preoperative D-dimer was associated with higher VTE risks after gynecological tumor surgeries.
