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

Dabigatran is an oral anticoagulant directly acting as thrombin inhibitor. The monoclonal antibody idarucizumab was developed to reverse its anticoagulatory effects after application of a standardized dose. Following administration, dabigatran plasma level rebounds have been reported but its consequences are not fully understood. We report a case of a multiple-trauma patient under dabigatran treatment suffering from secondary bleeding relapse after initially successful reversal with idarucizumab. Stabilisation of the patient's coagulopathy and subsequent bleeding was not achieved until application of an additional dose of idarucizumab. We conclude that patients treated with dabigatran and presenting with active bleeding require close attention to its reversal with standard doses of idarucizumab. Screening for thrombin time was shown beneficial in early detection of dabigatran rebound in this case.
