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

Dabigatran, directly targeting thrombin, is widely used for the prevention of stroke in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). We reported a rare case of left atrial appendage thrombus formation in a persistent NVAF patient despite the 31 months uninterrupted treatment with dabigatran 110 mg twice daily. The patient is a carrier of ABCB1 variant alleles with 7 heterozygote single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs: rs4148738, rs2235046, rs1128503, rs10276036, rs1202169, rs1202168, rs1202167) as well as CES-1 variant alleles with 2 homozygote SNPs (rs2244613 and rs4122238) and 2 heterozygote SNPs (rs8192935 and rs4580160), which may contribute to the changes of dabigatran plasma concentration. In addition, Drug-drug interaction with atorvastatin may also play a role to decrease dabigatran plasma concentration. There are only four such cases till date, of which had thrombus in the left atrium, reported in the literature. We firstly reported the documented case in a Chinese patient carrying multiple alleles of ABCB1 and CES-1, who suffered from thrombus in the left atrial appendage despite long-term anticoagulation with dabigatran. More clinical data are required to elucidate the impact of CES-1 and ABCB1 polymorphism on dabigatran pharmacokinetics, especially for Asian.
