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) have revolutionized the field of anticoagulation in the last decade, mainly due to their fixed dosing, rapid onset of anticoagulant effect, and non-inferiority to vitamin K antagonists for both efficacy and safety. Also, the availability of specific and non-specific reversal agents makes these drugs popular. However, in critically ill patients, significant alterations in drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics might occur due to various ongoing pathophysiological derangements like decreased gastrointestinal absorption, increased volume of distribution, and impaired renal and/or hepatic function. Insight into these changes is essential regarding the safe and effective use of DOACs in critically ill patients. The current article is a narrative review on the use of DOACs in intensive care unit patients, covering 'Applied pharmacology'; the second article in the series covers 'Clinical evidence'.
