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

It has been confirmed that tamoxifen (TAM) use is associated with thromboembolic risks; however, it remains uncertain which specific thromboembolic events warrant prioritized surveillance beyond those already listed in the prescribing information. This study was conducted to assess the relationship between TAM use and reported thromboembolic events using the latest FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) data. Tamoxifen-related AEs reported in FAERS between January 2004 and December 2024 were extracted, screened for thromboembolic cases, and subjected to disproportionality analysis to identify significant signals. A clinical prioritization scoring system was then applied to rank signal relevance, and multivariate regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with thromboembolic outcomes. Among 385 TAM-associated thromboembolic events, 28 significant signals were detected. Newly detected signals comprised unilateral paralysis, retinal artery occlusion, and atrial thrombosis. Male sex, older age, and elevated body mass were identified as risk indicators for thromboembolism. These findings may inform enhanced clinical surveillance and TAM risk stratification; however, further validation is warranted.
