Patient preferences regarding atrial fibrillation stroke prophylaxis in patients at potential risk of atrial fibrillation.
Article in International journal of clinical pharmacy, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Background With an increasing number of options for atrial fibrillation (AF) stroke prophylaxis, there are several medication-related factors to consider. This study aimed to gain a better understanding of which preference factors influence patient decisions when selecting AF stroke prophylaxis. Objective To determine the factors that influence patient stroke prophylaxis decisions and preferred therapeutic options. Methods A questionnaire about AF stroke prophylaxis medication options was distributed to participants at risk of AF. Preferences were elicited through ranking and rating medication preference factor statements, then selecting most and least preferred treatment options. Results Reduced stroke risk and lowest risk of an intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) had the highest median preference factor ranking of 2 (IQR, 1-3.5 for stroke reduction; 2-4 for ICH risk). Reducing stroke risk, availability of a lab test to assess drug effect, and availability of an antidote were the preference factors with the highest ratings. Apixaban was the most preferred treatment option (44% blinded to drug name, 37% unblinded) while 'No treatment' was the least preferred option (48% blinded, 52% unblinded). Conclusions Reducing stroke risk and limiting ICH risk were the most important medication factors to participants. High inter-participant preference variability suggests the importance of including the patient in decision-making when selecting AF stroke prophylaxis.
