[Monitoring of NOAC].
Article in Medizinische Klinik, Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundMonitoring non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOAC) is usually not necessary; however, in some patients it may prove beneficial.
objectivesPatient subgroups who may profit from monitoring were identified, and methods of monitoring (including assessment of which coagulation parameters are affected by NOAC) are described. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe searched the PubMed database for each of the search terms, "NOAC", "DOAC", "rivaroxaban", "dabigatran", and "apixaban", in combination with one of the terms, "monitoring", "measurement", "measuring", or "assessment". The results were compiled and reviewed.
resultsMonitoring is most advantageous in emergency cases with severe bleeding where drug activity needs to be assessed. It can also help in deciding for or against lysis therapy after acute stroke in patients taking NOAC. Furthermore, it can also identify compliance problems and help in planning periprocedural management. There are quantitative measurement methods which measure plasma concentrations exactly and qualitative methods which only allow for a rough estimate or a general confirmation of drug activity. Recommended quantitative measurement methods are diluted thrombin time for dabigatran, and anti-factor Xa activity (calibrated) for rivaroxaban and apixaban.
conclusionsSeveral patient subgroups may profit from monitoring of NOAC plasma concentration. One should, however, take several issues into consideration before measurements, such as the objective of each individual measurement, possible consequences (e. g., dose adjustment), and which measurement method to pick.
