Figure 2. The number of patients for each study is the number of patients eligible for outcome assessment, and the event rates
are a combination of recurrent VTE and fatal PE (see ). Values in parentheses on the right-hand side of the figure are the
upper bound of the CI unless otherwise indicated. Forest plots of total venous thromboembolism (VTE) events (top) and fatal pulmonary embolism (PE) events (bottom).Table
