Implementation outcomes of a VTE prevention and management system within the close-knit county medical alliance model.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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) prevention and management has been identified as a key priority area for healthcare quality and safety in Chinese hospitals. The National Health Commission has incorporated "improving the standardized prophylaxis rate for venous thromboembolism" as one of the national medical quality and safety improvement goals for China from 2021 to 2025. While large tertiary hospitals in China have actively implemented VTE prevention and management systems with notable success, significant challenges persist at the grassroots level, including insufficient VTE prevention capabilities and low awareness in county-level and township hospitals. Methods: Inpatients from the consortium (comprising 1 county-level hospital and 6 township hospitals) between July 2023 and June 2025 were selected as the study population. July 2024 was designated as the project initiation timepoint. The period from July 2023 to June 2024 was defined as the pre-intervention phase serving as the control group (CG), while the period from July 2024 to June 2025 was defined as the post-intervention phase serving as the observation group (OG). The analysis focused on trends in changes of indicators such as in-hospital VTE detection/diagnosis rate, risk assessment rate, bleeding risk assessment rate, mechanical prophylaxis implementation rate, and pharmacological prophylaxis implementation rate before and after the initiation of the VTE prevention and management project. Results: In the county-level hospital, the observation group comprised 30,863 cases and the control group 31,382 cases. Across the six township hospitals, the observation group included 35,204 cases and the control group 34,751 cases. There were no statistically significant differences in gender, age, or body mass index between the two groups in either the county-level or township hospitals ( Conclusion: Under the close-knit county medical alliance model and with the application of computer-supported technology, improvements were observed in VTE risk assessment rates, in-hospital VTE detection/diagnosis rate, bleeding risk assessment rates, mechanical prophylaxis implementation rates, and pharmacological prophylaxis implementation rates in both county-level and township hospitals.
