Evaluation of standard versus reduced dose apixaban for the treatment of venous thromboembolism in patients with severe renal disease (ESRD-VTE).
Article in Thrombosis research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThere are no clear dosing recommendations when using apixaban for venous thromboembolism (VTE) treatment in patients with severe or end-stage renal disease; clinical trials excluded patients with a creatinine clearance (CrCl) <25 mL/min or on dialysis. This study compares bleeding rates in patients with severe or end-stage renal disease taking standard versus reduced dose apixaban for VTE treatment. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis was a multicenter, retrospective cohort study using electronic medical records between January 1, 2013, and August 31, 2021. This study included patients 18 years or older who had severe or end-stage renal disease when prescribed apixaban for VTE treatment. Severe or end-stage renal disease was defined as at least one of the following: CrCl <25 mL/min, SCr >2.5 mg/dL, CKD stage 4 or 5, or on dialysis. The primary endpoint was rate of clinically relevant bleeding within six months of starting apixaban. Secondary endpoints were VTE recurrence within six months of starting apixaban, time to clinically relevant bleed, and time to VTE recurrence.
resultsA total of 203 patients were included in the final analysis (n = 125 on 5 mg; n = 78 on 2.5 mg). Clinically relevant bleeding rate was significantly higher in the standard dose group (14.4 % vs 3.8 %, p = 0.02). Rates of VTE recurrence appear similar (6.4 % vs 7.7 %, p = 0.21).
conclusionsA reduced dose of apixaban may be considered when treating VTE in patients with severe or end-stage renal disease.
