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: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is associated with various long-term complications. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the association of clinical characteristics at VTE diagnosis with functional limitations 3 and 12 months afterward. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study of VTE patients, excluding patients with cancer, pregnancy, and postpartum period. Functional limitations were assessed with the post-VTE functional status (PVFS) scale (range, 0-4) within 21 days of diagnosis, after 3 and 12 months (prospectively), and 1 month before diagnosis (retrospectively). Twelve-month follow-up was only performed in patients on anticoagulation. We fitted 2 proportional odds logistic regression models for the 3- and 12-month follow-ups and computed odds ratios (ORs) with 95% bootstrap percentile confidence intervals (CIs). Results: We included 307 patients (42% female, median age 55.6 years) with a median (IQR) PVFS scale grade of 2 (2-3) at study inclusion and 0 (0-0) before diagnosis. After 3 months, PVFS scale grade in 269 patients was 1 (0-2). Female sex (OR, 2.15; 95% CI, 1.26-4.14), body mass index (OR per 1 kg/m Conclusion: Functional limitations in VTE patients improved 3 and 12 months after diagnosis but did not return to pre-VTE values. We identified clinical characteristics that could help identify patients at risk of persisting functional limitations after VTE.
