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

Utilization of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) have steadily increased since their approval and are now recommended over warfarin for both stroke prevention in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE). With increased DOAC use, the number of major bleeding events requiring medical intervention will continue to rise. Until 2015, warfarin maintained an advantage as the only oral anticoagulant with a specific reversal agent. Since then, idarucizumab has been approved for dabigatran reversal and recently, andexanet alfa was granted approval for the reversal of apixaban or rivaroxaban in patients with life-threatening or uncontrolled bleeding events. Due to the manufacturing practices required to yield these reversal therapies, they are available at high cost to hospital systems and as a result, have been met with resistance. Data exists describing both prothrombin complex concentrates (PCC) and andexanet alfa for DOAC reversal, however, without head-to-head comparison. Until future studies are available, current literature must be critically evaluated to aid in the clinical decision-making process of how to treat patients with life-threatening DOAC-related bleeding.
