Assessment of patients post reversal with idarucizumab.
Article in Journal of thrombosis and thrombolysis, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Idarucizumab, a fully humanized Fab antibody fragment, is indicated for reversal of dabigatran's anticoagulant activity. Idarucizumab neutralizes the anticoagulant effects of dabigatran by binding to dabigatran and its metabolite. In the full analysis of 503 patients, idarucizumab fully reversed the anticoagulant effect of dabigatran in more than 98% of patients. Real-world clinical experience with idarucizumab for dabigatran reversal remains limited. We report 11 real-world clinical cases in which idarucizumab was administered for dabigatran reversal in the setting of bleed (bleeding cohort n = 5) or emergent procedure (emergent procedure cohort, n = 6). Coagulation tests and clinical outcomes were assessed before and after idarucizumab administration. Clinical outcomes included thromboembolic events and hemostasis. The median (IQR) aPTT (seconds) before versus after idarucizumab was 40.4 (36.1) versus 27.3 (6.2) (bleeding cohort) and 50.1 (13.4) versus 26.5 (8.1) (emergent procedure cohort). The median (IQR) INR before and after idarucizumab was 2.0 (1.1) versus 1.2 (0.1) (bleeding cohort) and 1.1 (0.5) versus 1.1 (0.3) (emergent procedure cohort). Hemostasis was achieved in 4/5 patients in the bleeding cohort and 5/6 patients in the emergent procedure cohort. Thrombotic events occurred in four patients with a median time (IQR) from idarucizumab administration of 7.4 (4.3-14.7) days. Idarucizumab achieved adequate dabigatran reversal as evident by normalization of aPTT, INR, and achieving hemostasis. However, our data demonstrates a high thrombotic risk associated with dabigatran reversal with idarucizumab than previously reported.
