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

The effect of knee-length DVT stockings and structured leg exercises in reducing the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is of interest. Participants were randomly divided into experimental (n=60) and control (n=60) groups and DVT risk was assessed using the Modified Caprini Risk Score at baseline and Wells Criteria post-intervention. Baseline scores were comparable, confirming group homogeneity, but post-intervention analysis showed a significant reduction in DVT probability in the experimental group. The mean Wells score was 0.82 for the experimental group compared to 5.37 in the control group, with p < 0.001 indicating a highly significant difference. Data shows that simple, non-pharmacological interventions can effectively lower DVT risk in high-risk surgical patients and should be incorporated into routine post-operative care to reduce thromboembolic complications.
