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: The 2019 ACC/AHA/HRS guidelines established direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) as first line therapy over warfarin for non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods: Ambulatory clinic patients with non-valvular AF or atrial flutter seen between 10/1/2019-7/12/2020 included. High-risk AF defined as males CHA Results: Of 12,014 subjects with AF, 8,032 were high risk (mean age 75.9 ± 9.8 years; 57.5% male). There were 4,619 (57.1%) ≥ 75 years and 63.4% were rural dwelling. There was no significant difference between the number of subjects on anticoagulation before and after the guideline publication (75.6% vs. 75.7%, Conclusions: The new guidelines caused a slight increase in DOACs over time. Significant barriers to DOAC use exist in rural areas; one in four high risk AF patient remains without OAC therapy.
