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

aimWe assessed the hepatic safety of novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) analyzing the publicly available US-FDA adverse event reporting system (FAERS).

methodsWe extracted reports of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) associated with NOACs, including acute liver failure (ALF) events. Based on US marketing authorizations, we performed disproportionality analyses, calculating reporting odds ratios (RORs) with 95% confidence interval (CI), also to test for event- and drug-related competition bias, and case-by-case evaluation for concomitant medications.

resultsDILI reports represented 3.7% (n = 146) and 1.7% (n = 222) of all reports for rivaroxaban and dabigatran, respectively. No statistically significant association was found for dabigatran, in primary and secondary analyses. Disproportionality signals emerged for rivaroxaban in primary analysis (ALF: n = 25, ROR = 2.08, 95% CI 1.34, 3.08). In a large proportion of DILI reports concomitant hepatotoxic and/or interacting drugs were recorded: 42% and 37% (rivaroxaban and dabigatran, respectively), especially statins, paracetamol and amiodarone. Among ALF reports, fatal outcome occurred in 49% of cases (44% and 51%, rivaroxaban and dabigatran, respectively), whereas rapid onset of the event (<1 week) was detected in 46% of patients (47% and 44%, respectively).

conclusionsThe disproportionality signal for rivaroxaban calls for further comparative population-based studies to characterize and quantify the actual DILI risk of NOACs, taking into account drug- and patient-related risk factors. As DILI is unpredictable, our findings strengthen the role of (a) timely pharmacovigilance to detect post-marketing signals of DILI through FAERS and other data sources, (b) clinicians to assess early, on a case-by-case basis, the potential responsibility of NOACs when they diagnose a liver injury.
