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 therapy for stroke prophylaxis in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. These medications are generally well tolerated and are not associated with the inconvenience of repeat international normalized ratio (INR) checks. While bleeding in general is a common side effect associated with DOACs, especially from a gastrointestinal source, spontaneous hemorrhagic pericardial effusions are not seen frequently. Herein, we present a case of a patient who developed a hemorrhagic pericardial effusion three days after the initiation of apixaban. We also summarize the current data that is available showing this side effect and highlight an important risk factor that may predispose patients to this complication.
