Blood coagulation factors and risk of venous thromboembolism: a population-based study.
Article in European journal of medical research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 prevalence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and the impact of blood coagulation factors on the occurrence of VTE in the general population have been rarely studied.
methodsIn the KORA-Fit (S4) study with n = 805 participants (53% females) with a mean age of 62.4 (SD 5.7) years, the prevalence of physician-diagnosed VTE was assessed during a face-to-face interview. Plasma concentrations of antithrombin, fibrinogen, factor VIII, D-dimer, protein C, and protein S activity were analyzed; additionally, aPTT and prothrombin time were assessed as screening tests. The associations between coagulation factors and VTE were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression models. Non-linear associations were explored using restricted cubic splines.
resultsThe self-reported prevalence of VTE was 3.2%. The blood coagulation factors examined did not differ between individuals with and without VTE, except for factor VIII. In multivariable analyses, protein C (adjusted p = 0.008), protein S (adjusted p = 0.008), and aPTT (adjusted p = 0.016) were non-linearly inversely associated with VTE.
conclusionsOur findings in a middle-aged and elderly population demonstrate significant associations between specific blood coagulation factors and the prevalence of VTE. However, these hypothesis-generating findings must be confirmed in prospective cohort studies. Also, research on the complex interactions between coagulation factors and patient-specific risk factors in the pathogenesis of VTE is warranted.
