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

backgroundDirect oral anticoagulants (DOACs) can be involved in clinical relevant drug-drug interactions (DDIs) which may compromise safe and effective use. However, assessing the clinical relevance of DDIs with DOACs and managing these interactions optimally, can be challenging in clinical practice.

aimTo develop a practice-oriented list of potentially clinically relevant DDIs with DOACs with corresponding management plans for which it is important to screen in ambulatory care.

methodThe RAND/UCLA appropriateness method was used to develop the DOACs DDI list. In a first step a preliminary list was compiled of potentially clinically relevant DDIs per DOAC (apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban, rivaroxaban) using five reference sources. Subsequently, a two-step modified Delphi process involving a multidisciplinary panel (n = 10) including both pharmacists and physicians with expertise in all decision-making disciplines involved in care for patients using DOACs and with diversity of practice setting, was used to reach expert agreement on a final list of DDIs with corresponding management plans.

resultsAfter a two-step consensus round, 71 DDIs for 20 different interacting drugs were included: five pharmacodynamic, nine pharmacokinetic inhibitor and six pharmacokinetic inducer interacting drugs. Considerations raised and discussed by the panellists were related to (1) the necessity of the interacting drug, (2) the manageability of the DDI (whether there are any alternatives), (3) the (clinical) evidence-base for the DDI and (4) the (potential) consequences of the DDI.

conclusionWe developed a consensus list with specific and straightforward management plans on potentially clinically relevant DDIs with DOACs, for use in ambulatory care.
