Efficacy and Safety of Direct Oral Anticoagulants for Atrial Fibrillation Across Body Mass Index Categories.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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 Direct-acting oral anticoagulants are now the preferred method of anticoagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation. Limited data on efficacy and safety of these fixed-dose regimens are available in severe obesity where drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics may be altered. The objectives of this study were to evaluate efficacy and safety in patients with atrial fibrillation taking direct-acting oral anticoagulants across body mass index (BMI) categories in a contemporary, real-world population. Methods and Results We performed a retrospective study of patients with atrial fibrillation at an integrated multisite healthcare system. Patients receiving a direct-acting oral anticoagulant prescription and ≥12 months of follow-up between 2010 and 2017 were included. The primary efficacy and safety outcomes were ischemic stroke or systemic embolism and intracranial hemorrhage. We performed Cox proportional hazards modeling to compute hazard ratios (HRs) adjusted for CHA
