Rivaroxaban Monotherapy in Atrial Fibrillation and Stable Coronary Artery Disease Across Body Mass Index Categories.
Article in JACC. Asia, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02642419 (Atrial Fibrillation and Ischemic Events With Rivaroxaban in Patients With Stable Coronary Artery Disease Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Background: The AFIRE (Atrial Fibrillation and Ischemic Events With Rivaroxaban in Patients With Stable Coronary Artery Disease) trial showed both noninferiority for efficacy and superiority for safety endpoints of rivaroxaban monotherapy compared with those of rivaroxaban plus antiplatelet therapy (combination therapy) in patients with atrial fibrillation and stable coronary artery disease. Objectives: This study sought to evaluate outcomes of rivaroxaban monotherapy in those patients across body mass index (BMI) categories. Methods: Patients were categorized into 4 groups: underweight (BMI <18.5 kg/m Results: This study analyzed 2,054 patients with a median age of 75.0 years and CHA Conclusions: Rivaroxaban monotherapy had a similar effect on prognosis across all BMI categories in patients with atrial fibrillation and stable coronary artery disease.
