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

Background: Clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with cancer with symptomatic vs incidental venous thromboembolism (VTE) remain poorly described. Methods: In this Results: Of 284 patients, 163 (57%) had incidentally detected VTE. Compared with symptomatic patients, incidental patients had lower body mass index, more metastatic disease (79% vs 57%), and more pulmonary embolism or abdominal vein thrombosis. Deep vein thrombosis of the leg was more frequent in the symptomatic group (45.4% vs 7.4%, Conclusion: The characteristics and outcomes in patients with incidental VTE differed from those with symptomatic VTE. While VTE recurrence was similar between the two groups, incidental VTE was associated with a higher risk of bleeding.
