Antepartum and Postpartum Thromboprophylaxis Preferences: Insights From a Single-Center Survey.
Article in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a significant contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Thromboprophylaxis guidelines are critical for VTE prevention, yet the optimal implementation of risk-appropriate thromboprophylaxis during pregnancy and postpartum remains uncertain. Objective: To describe VTE risk assessment and thromboprophylaxis practices by medical practitioners in Obstetrics in a middle income setting as well as the barriers among obstetricians that may influence adherence to VTE guidelines. Methods: An electronic survey was distributed to 120 medical practitioners at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa to assess thromboprophylaxis practices in pregnancy and postpartum. Results: Seventy (58%) responses were received, and 64 (53%) complete responses were analyzed. Most respondents practiced in the public sector ( Conclusion: This survey provides insights into the practical issues affecting guideline and risk assessment tool implementation as well as challenges in a real-world clinical setting.
