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

Idarucizumab is a humanized antigen binding fragment (Fab) of a recombinant anti-dabigatran monoclonal antibody (IgG1-kappa) that allows rapid and sustained reversal of dabigatran-induced anticoagulation in case of bleeding or urgent surgery. Herein, we report a very unusual case of dabigatran reversal by idarucizumab in a 79-year-old woman with acute kidney failure admitted to a hospital in a context of hemoptysis. Three repeated injections were necessary because of massive dabigatran overdose and high rebounds of dabigatran plasma concentration. Idarucizumab was found on urine immunofixation up to 6 days after the last injection where it reacted with anti-kappa light chain antibody, but not with anti-gamma heavy chain antibody. Physicians should be aware of the increased half-life of idarucizumab in this context of acute kidney impairment and of its interference with urine immunofixation because it could lead to false-positive results and misdiagnosis of a paraprotein.
