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

Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is caused by an interruption of the blood supply to the small intestine. Atrial fibrillation is a common cause of thromboembolic AMI. Patients taking direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation are prone to anticoagulation failure and can present with thromboembolism. We present an interesting case of a 69-year-old female with a past medical history of chronic atrial fibrillation treated with a DOAC (apixaban) who was diagnosed with AMI despite being compliant with her anticoagulant. Her anticoagulation was promptly reversed and she was taken for urgent surgical intervention yielding a good outcome. Later, due to the failure of anticoagulation on apixaban her anticoagulant was changed to warfarin to prevent the recurrence of thromboembolism and follow-up showed she was doing well.
