Mechanical Prophylaxis Management of Venous Thromboembolism in a General Surgical Setting: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
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 and Aims: Patients undergoing pancreatectomy and hepatectomy are at high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and bleeding. Mechanical prophylaxis effectively prevents VTE, yet optimal management strategies remain debated. This study compared two mechanical prophylaxis regimens in these surgical populations. Methods: This retrospective study (January 2017-December 2022) included patients managed under distinct protocols: those admitted during 2017-2018 received the Assessment-Prophylaxis (AP) regimen ( Results: The ASPE group demonstrated higher VTE risk assessment rates at admission (94.4% vs. 46.0%, Conclusions: The ASPE regimen improved compliance with VTE prevention protocols. Postoperative mechanical prophylaxis significantly reduced HA-VTE incidence, supporting its clinical adoption.
