Venous thromboembolic events in traumatic brain injury. Does timing of prophylaxis matter? A single-center retrospective cohort study.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundPatients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) are at increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) due to immobilization and a hypercoagulable state. The administration and optimal timing for chemoprophylaxis remain unclear because of concerns about safety and efficacy.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective review of adult patients admitted with TBI to a level I trauma center between January 2019 and May 2020. Patient demographics, Glasgow Coma Scale, mobility score, mechanism of injury, comorbidities, timing of chemoprophylaxis and physical therapy, VTE events, and intracranial hemorrhage complications were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify predictors of VTE.
resultsAmong 405 patients, 161 received chemoprophylaxis. Eight patients experienced VTE. Receipt of prophylaxis in ≤48 hours was not associated with reduced VTE risk ( DISCUSSION: Higher admission mobility scores predict lower VTE risk in TBI. Early prophylaxis timing was not statistically associated with VTE. These findings underscore the need for prospective studies to determine safe and effective chemoprophylaxis strategies.
