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
Introduction: Pharmacokinetic studies have shown that rifampin reduces the levels of oral anticoagulants during the initiation of coadministration, raising concerns about an increased thrombotic risk, but there are limited comparative clinical outcomes between rifampin and warfarin compared with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of concurrent use of rifampin and warfarin versus DOACs, with assessments of outcome-associated factors and oral anticoagulant (OAC) management quality. Methods: A total of 142 patients given rifampin plus warfarin ( Results: The median Charlson Comorbidity Index and HAS-BLED (hypertension, abnormal renal/liver function, stroke, bleeding history or predisposition, labile INR, elderly, drugs/alcohol concomitantly) score of the two groups were 2 and 3, respectively. The incidence rate of composite ischemic or thromboembolic events was 2.16 and 1.44 per 10,000 patient-days in the warfarin and DOAC groups, respectively, with an adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of 0.41 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.02-7.34). The incidence rate of composite major bleeding or clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding events was 1.58 and 1.52 per 10,000 patient-days in the warfarin and DOAC groups, respectively, with an adjusted HR of 1.12 (95% CI 0.32-4.45). The risk of composite bleeding events increased with a higher HAS-BLED score (HR: 1.62, 95% CI: 1.02-2.63). Moreover, 34.3% of warfarin users maintained a percent time in therapeutic range of above 50%. Furthermore, 77.9% of DOAC users received appropriate dosing. Conclusion: No significant differences were observed in terms of the incidence of thrombotic or bleeding events between the two groups during coadministration. In addition, a higher HAS-BLED score was associated with a greater risk of bleeding events regardless of the class of OACs used. Finally, close monitoring of bleeding events should be considered.
