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

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which is characterized by pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis, has become a serious public concern. Notably, over half of the patients with VTE are over 70 years of age, but elderly patients are at high risk of anti-coagulation and bleeding, which increase with age. Moreover, risk factors and frailty also show a difference between elderly patients and ordinary patients diagnosed with VTE. Rivaroxaban is a direct inhibitor of activated factor Xa and has the advantage of predictable pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics, no coagulation monitoring, and few drug interactions. As a first-line therapy for VTE, this drug is more advantageous than traditional therapy and exhibits good efficacy and safety for ordinary patients. However, the effectiveness and safety of rivaroxaban in elderly patients have not been fully elucidated. This article reviewed the use of rivaroxaban in elderly patients, including drug interactions, monitoring, reversal agents of rivaroxaban, and the use of small dosages of rivaroxaban in elderly patients.
