Combined assessment of Caprini score, D-dimer, and thromboelastography for predicting deep venous thrombosis in lung cancer patients.
Article in American journal of cancer research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the predictive value of Caprini score, D-dimer levels, and thromboelastography parameters for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in patients with lung cancer.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 90 lung cancer patients admitted to Yantaishan Hospital between September 2020 and August 2024. The observation group comprised 50 patients with DVT, while 40 patients without DVT formed the control group. Caprini scores, D-dimer levels, and thromboelastography parameters including coagulation angle (α angle) and maximum amplitude (MA) were compared between groups. Pearson correlation assessed associations with Villalta scores. Logistic regression identified independent risk factors for DVT. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves evaluated the predictive efficacy of single and combined indicators.
resultsCompared to controls, the observation group showed significantly higher Caprini scores (P=0.008), D-dimer levels (P<0.001), α angle (P<0.001), and MA (P<0.001). Within severity subgroups, these parameters were elevated in the moderate group compared to the mild group (all P<0.001). Pearson analysis demonstrated positive correlations of Caprini score (P=0.024), D-dimer levels (P=0.029), α angle (P=0.037), and MA (P=0.030) with Villalta scores. Logistic regression revealed these four parameters as independent risk factors for DVT in lung cancer patients. The combined index yielded an AUC of 0.861, outperforming individual indicators (Caprini score 0.771, D-dimer 0.789, α angle 0.747, MA 0.725) in predicting DVT.
conclusionsCaprini score, D-dimer levels, α angle, and MA are independently associated with DVT occurrence and severity in lung cancer patients. Combined assessment enhances predictive accuracy, providing valuable guidance for early identification and clinical management of DVT.
