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

Introduction: Cardiovascular events are common in COVID-19. While the use of anticoagulation during hospitalization has been established in current guidelines, recommendations regarding antithrombotic therapy in the post-discharge period are conflicting. Methods: To investigate this issue, we conducted a retrospective follow-up (393 ± 87 days) of 1,746 consecutive patients, hospitalized with and surviving COVID-19 pneumonia at a single tertiary medical center between April and December 2020. Survivors received either 30-day post-discharge antithrombotic treatment regime using prophylactic direct oral anticoagulation (DOAC; Results: While no major bleeding events occured during follow-up in the treatment groups, Ctrl showed a high but evenly distributed rate all-cause mortality. All-cause mortality (CVM) was attenuated by prophylactic DOAC (0.6%, Conclusion: Late cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality were high in the year following hospitalization for COVID-19. Application of prophylactic DOAC or dipyridamole in the early post-discharge period improved mid- and long-term CVO and all-cause mortality in COVID-19 survivors.
