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
Background: The bleeding risk associated with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) remains a major concern, and rapid reversal of anticoagulant activity may be required. Although specific and nonspecific hemostatic biotherapies are available, there is a need for small-molecule DOAC reversal agents that are simple and cost-effective to produce, store, and administer. Objectives: To identify and characterize a small molecule with procoagulant activity as a DOAC reversal agent. Methods: We sought to identify a small procoagulant molecule by screening a chemical library with a plasma clotting assay. The selected molecule was assessed for its procoagulant properties and its ability to reverse the effects of the DOACs in a thrombin generation assay. Its activity as a DOAC reversal agent was also evaluated in a tail-clip bleeding assay in mice. Results: The hemostatic molecule (HeMo) dose-dependently promoted thrombin generation in plasma, with dose values effective in producing half-maximum response ranging between 3 and 5 μM, depending on the thrombin generation assay parameter considered. HeMo also restored impaired thrombin generation in DOAC-spiked plasma and reversed DOAC activity in the mouse bleeding model. HeMo significantly reduced apixaban-induced bleeding from 709 to 65 μL (vs 43 μL in controls; Conclusion: HeMo is a small-molecule procoagulant that can counterbalance hemostatic disruption by a thrombin inhibitor (dabigatran) or factor Xa inhibitors (apixaban and rivaroxaban). The compound's effective clot formation and versatility make it a possible option for managing the inherent hemorrhagic risk during DOAC therapy.
