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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesThis meta-analysis was to investigate the efficacy and safety of new oral anticoagulant (NOAC) in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with renal function insufficiency, and to explore whether renal decline occurs in AF patients with NOAC and its impact on outcomes. METHODS AND

resultsIn AF patients with mild renal insufficiency, the NOAC was associated with significantly lower rates of stroke (odds ratio [OR], 0.78; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.67-0.91; P < .05). Lower rates of bleeding were significantly observed in NOAC group (OR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.75-0.97; P < .05). In AF patients with moderate renal impairment, similar results were revealed (OR for stroke or systemic embolism, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.67-0.95, P < .05; OR for major bleeding, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.59-1.03; P = .07). During the follow-up, pooled data revealed that NOAC showed a less renal toxicity, but the difference did not reach statistical significance (creatinine clearance decline: -0.12 mL/min [-0.84, 0.61 mL/min]). We have revealed that the NOACs were associated with significantly lower rates of stroke or systemic embolism (hazard ratio [HR], 0.66; 95% CI, 0.42-0.89; P < .05) and lower rates of bleeding (HR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.70-1.16; P = .153) in AF patients with worsening renal function.

conclusionsNOAC may have the potentiality to be at least as effective as warfarin and may equal safety outcomes in AF patients with renal impairment. Renal decline during therapeutics may be less likely happened in NOAC than warfarin dose. NOAC may reveal good efficacy and safety outcomes in these scenarios. Further detailed research is needed to gain more clear profile on this new anticoagulant.
