Prevalence and bleeding risk associated with the concomitant use of direct oral anticoagulants and antiarrhythmic drugs in patients with atrial fibrillation, based on the French healthcare insurance database.
Article in European journal of clinical pharmacology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposePharmacokinetic interactions exist between apixaban or rivaroxaban, and CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein inhibitors such as amiodarone, verapamil and diltiazem. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of exposure to this drug-drug association (DDA) and to assess the bleeding risk associated in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).
methodsWe conducted a cohort study using a representative 1/97
resultsBetween 2014 and 2019, the AF population under apixaban or rivaroxaban represented 10,392 patients. During the study period, the annual average prevalence of DDA exposure in this population was 38.9%. Among the 10,392 patients, 223 (2.1%) were hospitalized for bleeding, of which 75 (33.6%) received the association and 148 (66.4%) received apixaban or rivaroxaban alone. There was no association between DDA exposure and risk of hospitalization for bleeding (aHR = 1.19, [95% CI: 0.90, 1.58]). Age (HR 1.03 [1.02, 1.05]) and male gender (HR 1.72 [1.28, 2.30]) were associated with an increased risk of hospitalization for bleeding.
conclusionExposure to antiarrhythmic drugs was not associated with an increased risk of hospitalization for bleeding in patients with AF under rivaroxaban or apixaban.
