1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Current antithrombotic therapy of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) consists of an initial course of heparin, followed by the secondary prevention with oral anticoagulation (OAC). Low molecular weight heparin has several advantages over unfractionated heparin, however, renal insufficiency has to be observed to avoid accumulation. The synthetic pentasaccharide Fondaparinux is a factor Xa inhibitor, that will shortly be available for the initial treatment of DVT. Oral anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists (VKA) is highly effective, the standard target INR is 2.0-3.0. For a first episode of DVT the duration of OAC usually is six months, but has to be adjusted according to the estimated risk for recurrence. Because of the narrow therapeutic window of VKA, low molecular weight heparins are increasingly being used for secondary prevention in patients with an increased risk for bleeding, mostly in 1/2-therapeutic dose. At present, several new antithrombotic agents are being studied and may become available shortly for DVT treatment.
