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

Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are being increasingly used in patients with chronic thromboembolic hypertension (CTEPH), however, the data on their safety and efficacy are scarce and contradictory. We systematically searched MEDLINE and Google Scholar databases from January 2010 to January 2021 for studies of DOACs in CTEPH. Three observational studies, 2 abstracts and one case series met our inclusion criteria. While these studies reported similar or even less rates of major bleeding in patients receiving DOACs compared with vitamin K antagonists, there were concerns about the possibility of increased risk of venous thromboembolism recurrence with DOAC therapy. Further studies are warranted to better define the role of DOACs in CTEPH.
