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

Although several studies have examined the relationship between factor VIII levels and recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE), findings remain inconsistent. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the association between elevated plasma factor VIII levels and VTE recurrence. A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase databases, and Google Scholar up to May 2025 to identify observational studies evaluating the association between elevated factor VIII levels and recurrent VTE. Pooled relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using random-effects model. Eighteen studies (12 cohort and 6 case-control studies) involving 9835 participants and 1554 recurrent events were included. Plasma factor VIII levels > 200 IU/dL were associated with an increased risk of VTE recurrence (RR = 1.70; 95% CI: 1.32-2.19; I
