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

Study objective: Oral anticoagulants (direct oral anticoagulants [DOACs] or warfarin) prevent stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), but their use may be associated with acute kidney injury (AKI). We aimed to compare AKI risk across individual oral anticoagulants in patients with AF. Design: Systematic review and network meta-analysis. Setting: Randomized trials and population-based studies. Participants: Patients with AF. Interventions: Oral anticoagulants. Main outcome measures: AKI. Results: A systematic literature search in Medline and Embase databases performed on December 17, 2021 identified ten randomized trials and eight population-based longitudinal studies based on prespecified inclusion criteria for systematic review. Clinical trials had short follow-ups and reported only low event rates of serious AKI. Retrospective longitudinal studies were assessed to be at higher risk for bias from confounding and outcome ascertainment, but follow-up was longer (1.5 to 8 years), with AKI incidence ranging from 2 to 29/100 person-years. Eight longitudinal studies that met transitivity assumption were included in a random-effects network meta-analysis within a Bayesian framework. All DOACs were associated with significantly lower risk of AKI compared to warfarin. Dabigatran was associated with lower risk of AKI compared to apixaban (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.82; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.68-0.99), rivaroxaban (HR = 0.84; 95%CI: 0.72-0.98), and warfarin (HR = 0.68; 95%CI: 0.59-0.77). Effect size estimates varied by chronic kidney disease status and study geographic locations. Conclusion: Apixaban, rivaroxaban, and dabigatran were associated with lower long-term risk of AKI compared to warfarin among patients with AF, with dabigatran potentially associated with the lowest risk.
