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

backgroundClonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, but its association with venous thromboembolic events (VTE) is unclear.

objectivesWe investigated the association between CHIP and incident VTE in older adults and evaluated whether risk varies by CHIP driver gene.

methodsParticipants from the community-based Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study without a history of VTE or hematologic malignancies were included. Whole-exome sequencing from peripheral blood was used to ascertain CHIP (variant allele frequency ≥ 2%) and common gene-specific CHIP subtypes (DNMT3A, TET2, and ASXL1). The primary outcome was incident VTE (adjudicated by experts from medical record review), defined as symptomatic and asymptomatic pulmonary embolism and lower extremity deep vein thrombosis. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to study the association between CHIP and VTE.

resultsOf 3980 participants included (median [25th-75th percentiles] age, 75.0 [71.0-79.0] years), 2359 (59.3%) were female, 1621 (40.7%) were male, 890 (22.4%) identified as Black, and 3090 (77.6%) identified as White; 985 (24.7%) had CHIP. Over a median 7.1-year follow-up, VTE occurred in 44 (4.5%) CHIP carriers vs 96 (3.2%) noncarriers (hazard ratio, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.02-2.17; P = .038). TET2 mutation was significantly associated with VTE risk (hazard ratio, 2.25; 95% CI, 1.27-4.00; P = .006).

conclusionIn this cohort study of older adults, we identified a modestly increased risk of VTE in individuals with CHIP, mainly driven by TET2 mutation. Future research should explore the mechanisms driving these associations and assess potential therapeutic and preventive strategies.
