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

backgroundDeep vein thrombosis (DVT) involves blood clots in deep veins, primarily in the lower limbs, with a prevalence of 0.1% annually, more common in elderly men. Open appendectomy, a low-risk procedure for acute appendicitis, typically lasts 30-60 minutes under general anesthesia. Post-surgery, DVT is rare but has been observed in a unique case following an uncomplicated appendectomy, highlighting the need for increased postoperative monitoring for thrombotic complications in low-complexity surgeries. CASE PRESENTATION: A 26-year-old Arab Iraqi male, BMI 22 kg/m

conclusionA young male developed extensive bilateral lower limb DVT post-appendectomy, highlighting thromboembolic risks in low-complexity surgeries and the need for tailored venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis and further research.
