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

objectiveTo analyse incidence of hemorrhagic and thrombotic events in a series of ambulatory patients receiving acenocoumarol in a rural area of Spain (1997-2007).

resultsOut of 1,544 patients, 1,086 are receiving acenocoumarol at present (2% of our region's population). The total follow-up was 5,462 patients-years. Median age was 74 years. INR therapeutic range was 2.0-3.0 in 82.5%. Atrial fibrillation (AF) was the most frequent indication (73%). Incidence of hemorrhagic and thrombotic events was 2.27 and 0.2/100 patients-year, respectively. Gastrointestinal tract was the most frequent site of bleeding. In multivariate analysis, patients with AF and prosthetic heart valves (PHV) had increased risk of bleeding (OR 2.1 and 4.8, respectively). Age and therapeutic ranges of INR were not associated with increased risk of bleeding.

conclusions2% of our population is receiving acenocoumarol. Incidence of hemorrhagic and thrombotic events was low. Patients with AF and PHV had increased risk of bleeding.
