Do population studies confirm the benefit of oral anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation demonstrated in clinical trials?
Review in Journal of interventional cardiac electrophysiology : an international journal of arrhythmias and pacing, 2004. 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
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with a significant morbidity and mortality, mainly due to an increased risk of thromboembolic stroke. Several large randomized trials have demonstrated the efficacy of oral anticoagulation to reduce this risk of ischemic events in patients with non-valvular AF. Despite the translation of these results into clear practice guidelines, oral anticoagulation remains underused. This reflects doubts about the real effectiveness of oral anticoagulation in daily practice. This paper gives an overview of the available evidence of the effectiveness of oral anticoagulation in population studies and tries to identify some remaining barriers in the prescription of oral anticoagulation in real life.
