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

Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are the standard treatment for thromboembolic protection in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation and microRNAs, have emerged as potential biomarkers of AF. The epigenetics of DOACs is still an understudied field. It is largely unknown whether epigenetic modifications interfere with DOAC response or whether DOAC treatment induces epigenetic modifications. To fill this gap, we started the miR-CRAFT (Circulating microRNAs and DNA methylation as regulators of Direct Oral Anticoagulant Response in Atrial Fibrillation) research study. In miR-CRAFT, we follow, over time, changes in DNA methylation and microRNAs expression in naïve AF patients starting DOAC treatment. The ultimate goal of miR-CRAFT is to identify the molecular pathways epigenetically affected by DOACs, beyond the coagulation cascade, that are potentially mediating DOAC pleiotropic actions and to propose specific microRNAs as novel circulating biomarkers for DOAC therapy monitoring. We herein describe the study design and briefly present the progress in participant enrolment.
