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

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (VTE) face high risks of recurrence and anticoagulant-related bleeding. Objectives: Our aim was to assess risk factors associated with recurrence and bleeding and analyze the impact of these outcomes on survival during one-year follow up. Design: Retrospective study. Methods: This analysis included consecutive VTE patients treated with anticoagulants from January 2019 to January 2023. The incidence of recurrent VTE, major bleeding (MB), and clinically relevant non-major bleeding (CRNMB) was evaluated and their associated risk factors were identified using univariate and multivariate models. Furthermore, the impact of anticoagulant treatment outcomes on all-cause mortality was analyzed by Cox proportional hazards model and Kaplan-Meier method. Results: This study included 1,792 CRC patients with cancer-associated VTE. In competing-risk multivariate analysis, independent predictors of recurrent VTE included age (HR with 95%CI: 1.005 [1.002-1.008] per year), history of VTE (4.288 [2.902-6.334]), index pulmonary embolism (PE) (1.698 [1.252-2.303]), ECOG ≥ 2 (1.561 [1.036-2.350]), hemoglobin < 100 g/L (1.363 [1.045-1.778]), and aPTT > 36.5 s (2.034 [1.223-3.383]); whereas recent major surgery or trauma within 1 month (0.451 [0.259-0.786]) and tumor stage II (0.607 [0.377-0.978]) or III (0.562 [0.333-0.949]) were associated with lower recurrence risk. Independent predictors of MB included age ≥ 75 (1.637 [1.011-2.652]), history of MB (5.320 [1.880-15.050]), ECOG ≥ 2 (9.979 [4.292-23.203]), antiplatelet therapy (2.592 [1.539-4.367]), and platelet count < 100×10 Conclusions: The independent risk factors identified in this study may serve as a reference for improving risk stratification in CRC patients receiving anticoagulant treatment. Additionally, adverse outcomes such as VTE recurrence, MB, and CRNMB significantly increase the one-year all-cause mortality risk in CRC patients.
