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

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains a major contributor to postoperative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery. This study aims to identify perioperative risk factors associated with VTE development following such procedures. We performed an exhaustive search of PUBMED and EMBASE from inception to November 1, 2023, using terms related to VTE following lung cancer surgery. A random-effects meta-analysis was performed to calculate the pooled incidence and odds ratios (ORs) for risk factors. Of 3,576 screened studies, 13 met eligibility criteria for qualitative synthesis, and 11 studies (53,382 patients) were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled incidence of postoperative VTE was 1.82% (971 cases). Significant risk factors included advanced age (standardized mean difference [SMD] 0.43, 95% CI 0.22-0.63; I
