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
Objectives: To investigate the epidemiological patterns, clinical characteristics, and risk factors of hospital acquired venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE) in a multi-campus medical center over a two-year period. Methods: A retrospective analysis were performed on patients diagnosed with HA-VTE at a tertiary medical center from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024. Parameters potentially affecting the occurrence of HA-VTE were analyzed using SPSS 27.0. The comparison group for risk factor analysis comprised all hospitalized patients without VTE during the same period. Results: A total of 393 inpatients met the criteria for HA-VTE. Among these, 308 presented with isolated hospital acquired deep vein thrombosis (HA-DVT), 61 with isolated hospital acquired pulmonary embolism (HA-PE), and 24 with concomitant HA-DVT and HA-PE. Risk factor analyses showed statistically higher incidence in patients with older age, malignancy, trauma, ICU stay, and major surgery. Patients with HA-VTE had longer hospital stays and higher mortality rates. The departments with the highest incidence rate were Neurosurgery, Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and Orthopedics. Conclusion: This study highlights a strong association between specific surgical clusters (prolonged mechanical ventilation, central venous access, and major orthopedic/neurosurgical procedures) and HA-VTE incidence. The interplay of endothelial injury, stasis, and hypercoagulability underscores the need for tailored prophylaxis strategies. Patients with death related to venous embolism have the characteristics of advanced age, multiple comorbidities, more iatrogenic interventions, and inadequate infection control. Clinicians need to strengthen VTE risk assessment and stratified management, with particular attention to postoperative, infected, and critically ill patients, to reduce mortality.
