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

Background: We hypothesized that acute pediatric venous thromboembolism (VTE) is associated with an increase in body mass index (BMI) over time. We posited that if children gain weight following VTE, targeted interventions may be advised clinically or tested in future studies. Objectives: The objectives of our study were to investigate BMI changes from VTE diagnosis to 3 and 6 months after diagnosis, identify predictors, and calculate the prevalence of overweight and obesity. Methods: : In this prospective cohort study, we followed 63 participants (mean age, 12.8 years [SD, 5]) for 6 months following first episode of acute VTE. We chose percentage of BMI Results: Sixty-two percent of participants were overweight/obese at diagnosis. Mean %-of-BMI Conclusion: BMI increases following pediatric VTE except those in the ICU. Weight-based counseling and lifestyle changes represent potential targeted interventions after VTE.
