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

purposeAnticoagulation is part of the daily routine of intensive care physicians. As the possibilities of pharmacological anticoagulation are becoming more numerous and diverse, intensive care physicians have to be familiar with indications, contraindications, dosing, and reversal of many different substances. This paper presents an overview of the substance group of direct thrombin inhibitors (DTI) indicated for alternative anticoagulation in intensive care medicine.

methodsThe review is a synopsis of scientific evidence, expert opinion, open forum commentary, and clinical feasibility data. RESULTS AND

conclusionsDue to their antithrombotic potential without direct activation of platelets, DTI could offer potential advantages over heparins and vitamin K antagonists in critically ill patients, especially regarding heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. Because of multiple organ dysfunction, organ failure, and comedications, simple extrapolation of results of medical to critically ill patients is not permissible. The fine line between thrombosis and bleeding in intensive care patients requires cautious dosing and close drug monitoring. Studies dealing with DTI in the intensive care setting are of utmost clinical interest.
