A Narrative Review of Thromboprophylaxis in Obese Patients Undergoing Surgery: What Do You Need to Know?
Review in Cureus, 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
Surgeries in obese patients have increased significantly, leading to a rise in perioperative complications such as embolic events. Preventing these complications in obese patients presents pharmacological challenges and involves optimization of guidelines and follow-up considerations, as well as the need for sufficient evidence to ensure safety with minimal risk. In this literature review, we address aspects of dosing with unfractionated and low-molecular-weight heparins, the role of factor Xa inhibitors, and the initiation and duration of thromboprophylaxis in obese patients undergoing surgery. We also review the current role of inferior vena cava filters as a preventive measure.
