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

purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the necessity of anticoagulant therapy with an Xa inhibitor for asymptomatic acute distal lower-limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) detected on ultrasonography after total hip arthroplasty (THA).

methodsAfter exclusions, patients who underwent primary cementless THA were divided into treatment and no-treatment groups based on whether they received anticoagulant therapy with an Xa inhibitor for asymptomatic acute distal lower-limb DVT. Residual distal lower-limb DVT at 3 months, incidence of proximal DVT, and symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) after THA were compared between the groups.

resultsA total of 574 patients met the inclusion criteria (treatment group, n = 287; no-treatment group, n = 287). Residual distal lower-limb DVT at 3 months was detected in 3 patients (1.0%) in the treatment group and in 10 patients (3.5%) in the no-treatment group. No symptomatic VTE was observed in either group. No significant difference was observed between the two groups, although the no-treatment group tended to have a higher residual rate of acute distal lower-limb DVT.

conclusionThe necessity of anticoagulant therapy for asymptomatic acute distal lower-limb DVT was not confirmed.
