Appert Scale (Thrombotic Risk Scale) in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Patients: 3-year Evaluation.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 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
Background: Deep vein thrombosis is a complication that can be fatal if left untreated, especially after a surgical procedure. In a previous case-control study, we identified thrombogenic factors generated during cosmetic surgery procedures and found a high incidence of thrombosis. Subsequently, following a consensus of experts and with the participation of 22 judges, the thrombosis risk scale (Appert Total Thrombosis Risk Scale) was developed. Methods: This was a descriptive, prospective, observational study of patients who underwent aesthetic plastic surgery in a 3-year period from June 2021 to June 2024. Demographic variables, such as age and sex, as well as the use of chemoprophylaxis, the result of the Appert scale, the presence of complications, defined as thrombosis events (deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism), and postoperative bleeding, were considered. Results: Statistical associations were evaluated using the Pearson χ Conclusions: This finding suggested a possible clinical relationship between the level of risk identified using the Appert scale and the occurrence of complications.
