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

rationaleOral anticoagulants and painkillers, some with an additional effect on the coagulation system, are widely used and are therefore prone to abuse and (intentional) overdose. We report the case of a patient with a massive mixed anticoagulant intoxication. PATIENT CONCERNS: The patient had ingested 1960 mg rivaroxaban, 31.5 mg phenprocoumon, 1425 mg diclofenac, and 21,000 mg metamizole in suicidal intention. DIAGNOSES: Massive mixed anticoagulant overdose.

interventionsThe patient was closely monitored. The phenprocoumon overdose was treated by the administration of vitamin K and PCC. OUTCOMES: Despite the massive inhibition of the coagulation system, the patient did not experience bleeding apart from a slight gross hematuria. LESSONS: Despite the ingestion of a massive amount of rivaroxaban, the plasma levels were not as high as feared, due to the ceiling effect of rivaroxaban absorption. Elimination occurred according to the half-life of rivaroxaban and was not unduly prolonged by the ingested quantity.
