Evidence-Practice Gaps in Postdischarge Initiation With Oral Anticoagulants in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 Oral anticoagulant (OAC) therapy reduces the risk of stroke in people with atrial fibrillation (AF), and is considered best practice; however, there is little Australian evidence around the uptake of OACs in this population. Methods and Results We used linked hospital admissions, pharmaceutical dispensing claims, medical services, and mortality data for people in Australia's 2 most populous states (July 2010 to June 2015). Among OAC-naïve people hospitalized with AF, we estimated initiation of OAC therapy within 30 days of discharge, and persistence with therapy in the first year. We analyzed both outcomes using multivariable Cox regression. In 71 184 people with AF (median age 78 years, 49% female), 22.7% initiated OAC therapy. Initiation was lowest in July to December 2011 (17.0%) and highest in July to December 2014 (30.1%) after subsidy of the direct OACs. In adjusted analyses, initiation was most likely in people with a CHA
