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

backgroundThe potential effects of glucocorticoid administration on rivaroxaban's anticoagulant bioactivity in dogs, and an appropriate rivaroxaban dosage regimen for dogs receiving glucocorticoid therapy are unknown. HYPOTHESIS/

objectivesThe objective was to determine whether glucocorticoid administration influences the anticoagulant effects of rivaroxaban in healthy dogs. We hypothesized that administration of rivaroxaban and prednisone would reduce the anticoagulant intensity compared with rivaroxaban alone. ANIMALS: Nine healthy dogs.

methodsRandomized, cross-over study. Dogs were administered prednisone (2 mg/kg, PO, q24h), rivaroxaban (1.5 mg/kg, PO, q24h), or prednisone and rivaroxaban, and the coagulation status was evaluated using prothrombin time (PT), and rivaroxaban-calibrated anti-Xa activity (RIVA, results were log

resultsThere were no differences in RIVA results for the rivaroxaban and prednisone/rivaroxaban groups on day 8 (P = .599, median 87 [range 45-156] to 167 [56-333], respectively, median difference 90 ng/mL [95% CI:87.3-161.8]) There was a strong correlation between RIVA and PT results when days 2, 4, and 8 were combined (r = .846, P < .001), and increased during drug administration, day 2 (r = .810, P < .001), day 4 (r = .863, P < .001), and day 8 (r = .885, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Clotting times in the PT correlate with rivaroxaban levels and may prove useful for drug monitoring. Prednisone administration had no apparent influence on the anticoagulant effects of rivaroxaban in healthy dogs, suggesting that combined therapy will not require dosage adjustments.
