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

2010 saw the introduction of dabigatran (Pradaxa; Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Ridgefield, CT), following US Food and Drug Administration approval, into daily clinical practice in the United States as an alternative to Coumadin (Bristol-Myers-Squibb, New York, NY) therapy. Dronedarone (Multaq; Sanofi-Aventis, Bridgewater, NJ), originally approved for use in the United States in 2009, has seen further widespread deployment in contemporary clinical practice. Intravenous vernakalant (Cardiome Pharm, Vancouver, B.C., Canada; Merck & Co., Whitehouse Station, NJ) is being considered for approval in the United States and may serve as an alternative to current agents for safe and efficacious acute conversion from atrial fibrillation. We focus primarily on new information concerning these and other antiarrhythmic drug and anticoagulation therapies. We provide brief updates of recently published articles along with our perspective on how they will likely alter clinical practice now and in the future.
