Risk factors for venous thrombosis after hip arthroplasty: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundVenous thrombosis is a common complication after hip arthroplasty.
methodsPubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched for case-control studies on risk factors for venous thrombosis after hip arthroplasty up to September 14, 2023. Data analysis was performed using Stata15.0.
resultsThis meta-analysis included 15 case-control studies, comprising 17,909 participants, including 1149 patients with venous thrombosis and 16,760 patients without venous thrombosis. The univariate meta-analysis results revealed that age over 70 years old, hypertension, BMI ≥ 25, operation time, stroke, and use of mechanical prophylaxis alone were risk factors for venous thrombosis after hip arthroplasty. Multivariate analysis showed that female, age > 70 years, BMI ≥ 25, cemented prosthesis, and a history of venous thrombosis were the risk factors for venous thrombosis after hip arthroplasty.
conclusionsThis study suggests that female sex, age over 70 years, hypertension, a BMI of 25 or higher, duration of operation, stroke, mechanical prevention only, use of a cemented prosthesis, and a history of venous thrombosis are risk factors for venous thrombosis following hip arthroplasty. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: not applicable.
