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

It is essential to prevent thromboembolic events in atrial fibrillation. The risks of thromboembolic and haemorrhagic events must be carefully assessed and weighed against one another, both in routine situations and in relation to invasive procedures. Vitamin K antagonists, until recently the first-line treatment for prophylaxis against thromboembolic events in patients with atrial fibrillation, have various drawbacks. Direct-acting oral anticoagulants overcome these limitations and are efficacious and safe. The recent developments of tests to monitor anticoagulant levels, and of target-specific reversal agents for these newer drugs, has facilitated their use in several situations, including emergencies. For these reasons, the European Society of Cardiology and other scientific societies now recommend direct-acting oral anticoagulants as first-line treatment for preventing thromboembolic events in atrial fibrillation.
