Predictors of use of direct oral anticoagulants in patients with venous thromboembolism: Findings from the Registro Informatizado Enfermedad Tromboembólica registry.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Current guidelines recommend the use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE). However little is known about the use of DOACs in daily practice. Methods: We used the RIETE registry to identify predictors of use of DOACs for initial and/or long-term therapy of VTE based on patient-related factors, institution-related factors or over time. Results: Among 41,678 patients from March 2013 to September 2021, 12,286 (29%) used DOACs: for initial therapy 6,456; for long-term therapy 12,046. On multivariable analysis, independent predictors were: age < 65 years (odds ratio [OR]: 1.30; 95% CI: 1.23-1.38), body weight <50 kg (OR: 0.54; 95% CI: 0.45-0.65) or >120 kg (OR: 0.64; 95% CI: 0.53-0.77), initial VTE presentation as pulmonary embolism (OR: 1.18; 95% CI: 1.13-1.25), recent bleeding (OR: 0.53; 95% CI: 0.45-0.63), renal insufficiency (OR: 0.44; 95% CI: 0.38-0.51), liver cirrhosis (OR: 0.32; 95% CI: 0.20-0.52), thrombocytopenia (OR: 0.40; 95% CI: 0.34-0.49), atrial fibrillation (OR: 1.58; 95% CI: 1.42-1.75) and prior VTE (OR: 1.14; 95% CI: 1.06-1.22). The DOACs were more likely used in other European countries (OR: 8.97; 95% CI: 8.49-9.49), America (OR: 6.35; 95% CI: 5.67-7.11) or in other countries of the world (OR: 2.99; 95% CI: 2.70-3.31) than in Spain, and progressively increased from 2013-2015 to 2016-2018 (OR: 2.78; 95% CI: 2.62-2.95) and 2019-2021 (OR: 6.36; 95% CI: 5.95-6.80). Conclusion: In this large multinational VTE registry, variations were observed in the use of DOACs according to patient or country factors, and over time. The safety, costs, and influence of the DOACs on VTE-related outcomes in daily practice warrant further investigation.
