Risk of recurrence and bleeding in patients with cancer-associated venous thromboembolism in the direct oral anticoagulants era: Findings from the TULIPE registry.
Article in PloS one, 2025. 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
backgroundThe introduction of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for venous thromboembolism (VTE) treatment has led to their widespread adoption in clinical practice, potentially influencing management strategies and patient outcomes. However, real-world data on cancer-associated VTE in the DOAC era remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and long-term outcomes of patients with cancer- and non-cancer-associated VTE in a real-world setting.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed patients diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) using lower-extremity venous ultrasound between January 2015 and August 2020 at the University of Tsukuba Hospital, a tertiary academic referral center in Japan.
resultsThe cohort included 2,281 patients with DVT, comprising 1,152 with active cancer (cancer group) and 1,129 without cancer (non-cancer group). The cumulative 5-year incidence of recurrent VTE was significantly higher in the cancer group than in the non-cancer group (25% vs. 10%, P < 0.001). After adjusting for confounders and accounting for the competing risk of mortality, cancer remained a significant risk factor for recurrence (adjusted subdistribution hazard ratio [sHR]: 2.00; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.46-2.74). Similarly, the cumulative 5-year incidence of major bleeding was significantly higher in the cancer group (30% vs. 9.6%, P < 0.001). After adjustment, the risk of major bleeding remained significantly elevated in the cancer group compared to that in the non-cancer group (adjusted sHR: 2.69; 95% CI: 1.90-3.81). In the cancer group, discontinuation of bleeding-related anticoagulation therapy was associated with increased VTE recurrence (P < 0.001), whereas no such association was observed in the non-cancer group (P = 0.716).
conclusionsIn the DOAC era, similar to the warfarin era, patients with cancer exhibited significantly higher rates of VTE recurrence and major bleeding than those without cancer.
