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

Background: Little is known about the relationship between coagulation biomarkers and clinical outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) treated with anticoagulants, especially direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and warfarin. Objectives: This subcohort study evaluated the association between coagulation biomarkers and clinical outcomes in elderly Japanese patients with nonvalvular AF using the ANAFIE (All Nippon AF In the Elderly) Registry. Methods: Patients with a definitive diagnosis of nonvalvular AF and aged ≥75 years at enrollment were included. At enrollment, biomarker levels for D-dimer, thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT), prothrombin fragment 1+2 (F1+2), and soluble fibrin monomer complex (SFMC), along with data on anticoagulant use, were recorded. Results: Of the 3,194 patients, 95.1% were using oral anticoagulants (OACs) (71.7% DOACs, 23.4% warfarin). D-dimer, TAT, and F1+2 levels, as well as the proportion of patients with a positive SFMC, were lower among those receiving OACs compared with those not receiving OACs. In the DOAC group, higher levels of D-dimer (≥1.0 μg/mL) and TAT (>3 ng/mL) were significantly associated with increased incidences of cardiovascular (CV) events (stroke, myocardial infarction, cardiac intervention, heart failure, and CV death), all-cause death, and CV death. In the warfarin group, higher levels of D-dimer were significantly associated with increased rates of all-cause death, higher levels of TAT with increased major bleeding, and positive SFMC with increased major bleeding and CV events. Conclusions: Higher levels of coagulation biomarkers were associated with a higher risk of worse clinical outcomes, and the relationships between the coagulation biomarkers and outcomes differed between the DOAC and warfarin groups.
