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

Postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) after minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for gynecologic malignancy is uncommon. Our objective was to characterize the rates and identify risk factors of postoperative VTE. A retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing MIS for gynecologic malignancy at three Canadian institutions from 2014 to 2020 was performed. The primary outcome was incidence of VTE within 90 days post-operatively. Descriptive statistics were used for clinicopathologic factors, and univariate analysis compared differences between groups. Rate and 95% confidence interval for VTE per 1000 surgeries were calculated. A total of 1786 patients met inclusion criteria, 85.3% uterine, 11.5% cervical, and 2.3% had ovarian cancer. Modes of surgery included robotic (49.4%), laparoscopic (20.7%), or combined laparoscopic/vaginal (29.9%). There were 15 VTE events at 90 days post-operatively (0.84%). Rates of VTE were lowest in patients who underwent robotic surgery, followed by combined laparoscopic/vaginal, and highest in a laparoscopic approach (
