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

backgroundDisseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) occurs in several clinical conditions, including drug therapy. We aim to investigate the association between the administration of several drug classes and the onset of DIC by using the reports of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR) collected in Vigibase, the World Health Organization (WHO) database of ADR.

methodsWe collected reports of drug-related DIC from 1968 to September 2015, classified in Vigibase according to the MedDRA (Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities) term "Disseminated intravascular coagulation". A disproportionality analysis using Reporting Odds Ratio (ROR) with 95% Confidence Interval (CI95%) was performed.

resultsOverall, 4653 reports of drug-associated DIC were retrieved and the 75.9% of them was serious according to WHO seriousness criteria. DIC was significantly (ROR > 1, lower limit of CI95% > 1) associated with 88 drugs, mainly antineoplastic agents, antithrombotic agents and antibacterials for systemic use. Among of the most frequently reported individual drugs we found dabigatran (94 reports) ROR = 1.34 (CI95% 1.08-1.67), oxaliplatin and bevacizumab both with 75 reports and ROR = 1.77 (1.38-2.27) and 2.02 (1.57-2.61), respectively.

conclusionA substantial number of drugs, widely used in the clinical practice, may be associated with the potential occurrence of DIC. For many of these drugs, the ADR is not acknowledged in the corresponding Summary of Product Characteristics. The high number of drugs involved underlines the importance of evaluate this condition such as an ADR that might occur during drug therapy.
