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

COVID-19 is a contagious respiratory infection. This disease affected the healthcare system globally due to its complications related to vascular morbidity and mortality. There is a pathophysiological connection between COVID-19 and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The blood hypercoagulability, venous stasis, and endothelial dysfunction in patients with COVID-19 have been associated with a higher risk of developing DVT. In this systematic review, 15 studies were selected to determine if COVID-19 can be taken as an independent risk factor for DVT. The search was done to determine studies analyzing the incidence of DVT in patients with COVID-19. The studies chosen were observational studies between 2020 and 2025.
