Clinical characteristics, management strategies, and outcomes in patients with preoperative venous thromboembolism who underwent surgery: survey data from 2020 to 2022 by the Japanese Society of Anesthesiologists.
Article in Journal of anesthesia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
purposeTo investigate the clinical characteristics of management strategies for, and outcomes in patients with preoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) who underwent surgery in Japan.
methodsWe categorized patients with preoperative VTE into the following three groups: pulmonary embolism (PE), proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and distal DVT. We investigated baseline characteristics, including risk factors; perioperative treatment and prophylaxis, including anticoagulation; and postoperative outcomes, including postoperative VTE recurrence, bleeding, and death.
resultsWe divided 13,025 patients into PE (n = 2425, 19%), proximal DVT (n = 1792, 14%), and distal DVT groups (n = 8808, 68%). The PE group had the highest incidence of malignancy; the proximal DVT group had the highest incidence of leg fractures; and the distal DVT group had the lowest incidence of physical immobility. Furthermore, the PE group most frequently received preoperative anticoagulation therapy after VTE diagnosis, whereas the proximal DVT group most frequently received an inferior vena cava filter for intraoperative management. Death within 30 postoperative days was most common in the PE group. In addition, recurrent PE was most frequent in the PE group, whereas major bleeding events were least frequent in distal DVT group.
conclusionsThis study, based on nationwide anesthesiologic database, provides contemporary practice patterns and clinical outcomes in patients with preoperative VTE who underwent surgery in Japan. These findings may provide valuable information for healthcare providers involved in surgery.
