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

backgroundInformation on apixaban anticoagulant activity is required to prevent major bleeding or thrombosis during its use.

methodsWe enrolled 194 patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) in whom warfarin was replaced with apixaban: 105 (54.1%) received the standard dose of apixaban (5 mg twice daily [BID]; 5 mg group) and 89 (45.9%) received a reduced dose (2.5 mg BID; 2.5 mg group). Multiple regression analysis was performed to predict the prothrombin time of apixaban (PTa) based on factors including age, body weight (BW), serum creatinine, and CHA

resultsPTa and PT of warfarin (PTw) were significantly correlated in both groups (correlation coefficient R = 0.239 [

conclusionsPT can be predicted by a formula including simple clinical parameters in patients receiving the standard dose of apixaban. This simple predictive formula may help to stratify bleeding and thrombosis risks in patients treated with apixaban.
