Incidence and risk factors of venous thromboembolism following radical nephrectomy: A meta-analysis of observational studies.
Review in Arab journal of urology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) following radical nephrectomy and to examine the related risk factors. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search for primary research articles from the inception of the databases up to October, 2024 across several databases, including MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. We employed random effects models to determine multivariate adjusted odds ratios (ORs) along with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: In total, 11 studies including 140,795 patients who underwent radical nephrectomy met inclusion criteria. The results showed that postoperative VTE incidence was 1.01% (95% CI = 1.01-1.02; Conclusions: The overall incidence of VTE after radical nephrectomy is 1%, occurring approximately one month after surgery, and may be related to factors such as open surgery, diabetes and history of VTE. This reminds urologists that more aggressive thromboprophylaxis may be required for these patients. PROSPERO Registration number: CRD42023439919.
