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

aimTo compare the safety and efficacy of Enoxaparin (EX) and Fondaparinux (FD) in patients with Unstable Coronary Artery Disease (UCAD). MATERIALS AND

methodsA prospective, open label, randomized comparative study was designed to study the comparative efficacy and safety of EX and FD in UCAD patients. Recovery, recurrence, major and minor bleeding and biochemical investigations were evaluated and compared among two arms.

resultsThe baseline demographic characteristics were similar in both groups, with mean age of 56.05 and 56.05 years in EX and FD group respectively. Recovery was equal in two arms. Recurrent MI or angina was seen numerically more in EX group, but it did not statistically vary from that in the FD group. Incidence of haemorrhage was similar in both groups at 9 days, but at 30 days, EX showed a higher incidence (p<0.05). Deaths were prevented in both the treatment arms. Bleeding parameters such as BT, CT and platelet count were not altered in both groups.

conclusionFD appeared to be better than EX in efficacy, as was indicated by a numerically more decrease in recurrence of angina or MI. FD regimen group also had better safety profile, as there was no incidence of haemorrhage at 30 days Therefore, we conclude that FD is an attractive option than EX in UCAD patients.
