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

Interventional radiology techniques made possible by the antithrombotic properties of heparin have revolutionized treatment for a myriad of disorders. Newer low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs) offer several advantages over unfractionated heparin (UFH), especially in chronic settings. They are increasing in popularity for use during vascular procedures. However, LMWH shares limitations with UFH such as heterogeneity, nonspecificity, and induction of thrombocytopenia. These drawbacks have led to a search for the next generation of antithrombotic agents. Homogeneous drugs targeting specific coagulation cascade molecules are now available. The number of alternative anticoagulant drug combinations presents clinicians with a confusing array of choices. The strengths and weaknesses of UFH, LMWH, and direct antithrombin agents are presented. The promising future of LMWH and hirudins is discussed.
