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

backgroundDeep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a frequent complication following endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in patients with acute ischaemic stroke (AIS), potentially leading to fatal pulmonary embolism (PE). Identifying patients early at high risk for DVT is clinically important. This study developed and validated a nomogram combining laboratory findings and clinical characteristics to predict the risk of lower-extremity DVT after EVT in patients with AIS.

methodsThis retrospective multicentre observational study was conducted in two tertiary hospitals in China, enrolling 640 patients who underwent ultrasonography for DVT diagnosis within 10 days following EVT. Data on medical history, examination and laboratory results were collected for logistic regression analyses to develop a DVT risk nomogram.

resultsLogistic regression analyses identified critical predictors of DVT: lower limb National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≥ 2, elevated D-dimer levels (≥ 1.62 mg/L) and prolonged puncture-to-recanalization time (PRT ≥ 66 min). The nomogram demonstrated good discriminative ability (AUC 0.741-0.822) and clinical utility across internal and external validation cohorts. Additionally, the presence of DVT was significantly associated with reduced functional independence at 90 days post-EVT, highlighting the negative impact of DVT on patient recovery (OR = 3.85; 95% CI: 2.18-6.78; p < 0.001).

conclusionThe study provides a practical clinical tool for early detection and intervention in patients with AIS at high risk for DVT following EVT. Early identification and intervention may help improve outcomes in patients with AIS undergoing EVT. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: This nomogram helps in the early detection and proactive management of DVT in AIS patients, which can reduce severe complications and improve patient recovery outcomes. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contributions were involved in this study due to its retrospective design, where data were utilised from existing medical records without direct patient interaction.
