Andexanet Alfa and its Clinical Application.
Review in Heart international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Factor Xa (FXa) inhibitors are widely used for stroke prevention in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, and for the treatment and prevention of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Compared with warfarin, individual FXa inhibitors are associated with a lower risk of major bleeding. Nevertheless, bleeding remains a feared complication of any anticoagulant therapy. Despite their demonstrated safety, implementation of FXa inhibitors in clinical practice may have been limited by the lack of a specific antidote. Recently, however, the United States Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency approved andexanet alfa for reversal of anticoagulation in patients treated with rivaroxaban or apixaban who have life-threatening or uncontrolled bleeding. This review will discuss andexanet alfa's mode of action, indication for use and efficacy, with a focus on its appropriate use in clinical practice. Unnecessary usage should be prevented as this may compromise patient safety. Assessment of potentially suitable patients by a multidisciplinary team, use according to the institutional protocol and central storage, all contribute to proper use of andexanet alfa. A practical tool to direct appropriate use of andexanet alfa is proposed.
