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

Direct thrombin inhibitors (DTIs) are a class of anticoagulants that bind selectively to thrombin and block its interaction with its substrates. Dabigatran etexilate and AZD0837, the new generation of DTIs, are now under intense development, and are potentially of great interest for internists. Dabigatran etexilate is a potent, non-peptidic small molecule that specifically and reversibly inhibits both free and clot-bound thrombin by binding to the active site of thrombin molecule. It has been already licensed in the European Union and in Canada for the prevention of VTE in patients undergoing hip- and knee-replacement surgery. Ongoing trials are evaluating its efficacy and safety for the treatment of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, primary and secondary prevention of VTE, prevention of systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation, and prevention of cardiac events in patients with acute coronary syndromes. AZD0837 is the prodrug of ARH06737, a potent, competitive, reversible inhibitor of free and fibrin-bound thrombin. At present, only limited, preclinical, phase I and phase II clinical data have been presented. The drug has now entered a phase III clinical program in the population of patients with atrial fibrillation. Their properties and the oral administration render these compounds, theoretically, more convenient than both vitamin K antagonist and low molecular weight heparins. However, only reports from clinical practice patterns over the next months and years will tell us how and when to use the new DTIs.
