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: Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is common after lung transplantation, yet it can lead to serious complications, including pulmonary embolism (PE) and bleeding related to anticoagulation. The study aims to identify the risk factors for the development of DVT and PE to reduce the associated peri-operative complications. Methods: A retrospective review of the lung transplant database identified 399 consecutive patients who underwent lung transplantation from 2018 to 2024. The patient demographics, peri-postoperative factors, and outcomes were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to predict PE in patients with DVT. Results: The incidence of DVT in the cohort was 53.6%. The patient with DVT had increased postoperative mortality (33.17% Conclusions: Postoperative DVT after lung transplant is associated with a significantly higher rate of complications such as bleeding and PE. The patients with lower extremity DVT and higher pre-operative platelet numbers had a higher risk for PE compared to patients with upper extremity DVT. Thus, the anticoagulation strategy may be modified based on these risk factors to prevent post-operative bleeding which carries a significant risk for mortality.
