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 purposeThe ideal dosing regimen of 4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (4FPCC) after warfarin-induced intracranial hemorrhage (WICH) remains unclear. We sought to compare the safety and efficacy of the 4FPCC package insert dosing strategy (standard dose [SD]) with our institutional guideline for high-dose (HD) 4FPCC for patients with WICH.

methodsWe compared the percentage of SD and HD patients who achieved an international normalized ratio (INR) ≤1.3 at a single institution between January 2014 and July 2017. Additionally, we assessed hematoma expansion, recurrence of INR > 1.3, and occurrence of thrombotic events within 7 days of 4FPCC administration.

resultsOf 48 patients with WICH, 30 received SD and 18 received HD. The median baseline INR was 2.5 (2.0-3.8) for SD patients and 3.3 (2.5-5) for HD patients (

conclusionsHigh-dose 4FPCC appears to be more effective at lowering INR and preventing bleed expansion in patients with WICH, while maintaining a similar safety profile.
