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: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are a first-line anticoagulant therapy for eligible patients with atrial fibrillation. Prescribing differences in the Military Health System have not yet been assessed. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study using administrative claims data from the Military Health System Data Repository from fiscal years 2018-2019. We identified TRICARE Prime and Prime Plus patients between the ages of 18 and 64 with a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation and a CHA Results: A total of 5289 TRICARE Prime and Prime Plus patients within the Military Health System who carried a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation and a CHA Conclusions: Our study shows that differences exist within the Military Health System in the prescription of DOACs for atrial fibrillation by race, gender, and socio-economic status. These differences cannot be explained by differences in access to insurance or cost of medications.
