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

Thromboembolic events (TE) represent the commonest cause of morbidity and mortality in polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythaemia (ET). The QRISK3 model is a tool for predicting TE in the general population, with 7.5% recognised as a threshold to identify high-risk patients. We analyzed data of 937 patients (490 ET and 447 PV) with a median follow-up of 85 and 95 months, reporting an occurrence of 52 and 73 TE, respectively. Median QRISK3 scores at diagnosis were higher in conventional high-risk patients in both cohorts (ET; 4.2 in high-risk vs. 2.4 in low-risk, PV; 8.8 vs. 2.8, p < 0.001). During follow-up, a QRISK3 score greater than 7.5%, demonstrated potential to further stratify individuals at high risk of TE, outperforming standard risk assessments in both low and high-risk patients. Using cytoreductive treatment instead of active surveillance in patients with QRISK3 ≥ 7.5% conferred a reduced risk of thrombosis in both cohorts. Of this group, 79.7% with ET and 86.9% with PV, on cytoreductive therapy, remained thrombosis free, compared with 64.1% and 57.1% of those not receiving cytoreductive therapy (p = 0.018/0.034). QRISK3 identifies patients in whom cytoreductive therapies may be indicated, and provides a tool that allows patients to assess, monitor and reduce their cardiovascular risk.
