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

We discuss the first ever case of rivaroxaban causing major intra-abdominal hemorrhage found in a patient during emergency hernioplasty. The source of bleeding was not identified either intra- or postoperatively. This is on a background of treatment for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) with rivaroxaban, a complication that resulted from a total knee arthroplasty performed four weeks prior. Rivaroxaban is a new generation of anticoagulants that directly inhibits factor Xa and is used for DVT treatment in major orthopaedic surgery. Here we discuss the major side effects of rivaroxaban, namely, the increased risk of major bleeding as well as the irreversibility of this anticoagulant, should such bleeding occur. We advise caution in the use of rivaroxaban even in patients that are at low risk of bleeding given the discovery of hemorrhage as presented in this case.
