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

Case: A 39-year-old female with Factor V Leiden sustained multiple injuries following a motor-vehicle collision. A prophylactic inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) was placed prior to fixation of her ipsilateral intertrochanteric and diaphyseal femur fractures the morning after admission. She developed a pulmonary embolism (PE) on postinjury Day 3. She underwent fixation of her ipsilateral tibial plateau and wrist on postinjury Day 6, IVCF removal on Day 12, and was subsequently discharged with 3 months of anticoagulation. Conclusion: PE can occur despite IVCF. Our understanding of the prevention and management of de novo PE is limited and should be the focus of future research.
