Supratherapeutic dabigatran: a cause of life-threatening haemorrhage.
Article in Anaesthesia reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In this case report, we present a rare case of life-threatening gastrointestinal haemorrhage associated with deranged coagulation due to supratherapeutic levels of dabigatran. Dabigatran is a potent, synthetic, reversible non-peptide thrombin inhibitor which is increasingly used for stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. It is generally accepted that dabigatran dosing does not require titration or the monitoring of plasma levels due to its predictable pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. However, this case report challenges this viewpoint while identifying an important knowledge gap in relation to the effect of altered gastrointestinal motility on the absorption of direct oral anticoagulants. Furthermore, it demonstrates the successful use of high-dose idarucizumab in a critical care setting. Idarucizumab is a monoclonal antibody fragment that binds specifically to dabigatran and its metabolites, thereby reversing the anticoagulant effect.
