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

Anticoagulants are widely used for the prophylaxis and treatment of cardiovascular disorders and to prevent blood clotting during surgeries. However, the major limitation associated with anticoagulant therapy is bleeding; all the current anticoagulants do have a bleeding risk. The propensity to bleed is much higher among the elderly population and patients with renal insufficiency. Therefore, there is an utmost and urgent clinical need for a highly efficient, nontoxic antidote with excellent anticoagulant reversal activity. This will significantly improve the safety of anticoagulation therapy. This review summarizes the current options and approaches to reverse anticoagulation activity of clinically used anticoagulants. We start with an introduction to thrombosis and then summarize the details of current clinically available anticoagulants and their mechanisms of action and limitations. This is followed by current practices in anticoagulant neutralization including the details of the only clinically approved unfractionated heparin antidote, protamine; recent advances in the development of antidotes against heparin-based drugs; and direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs).
