Synergistic effects of rivaroxaban and hypothermia or acidosis on coagulation initiation measured with ROTEM
Article in Thrombosis journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05669313 (The Effects of Hypothermia and Acidosis on Coagulation During Treatment With Rivaroxaban Measured With Rotational Thromboelastometry), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundHypothermia and acidosis individually inhibit haemostasis. We designed this study with the aim to investigate whether rivaroxaban combined with hypothermia or acidosis exhibit synergistic inhibitory effects on haemostasis using ROTEM
methodsPatients with a clinical indication to start rivaroxaban treatment were prospectively included. Blood samples were collected before initiation of treatment and the day after. All blood samples were in vitro modified with respect to temperature (incubated and analysed at 28, 33, 37 and 40 degrees Celsius (°C)) and pH (6.8, 7.0, 7.2 and 7.4). The temperature and acidosis effects on the ROTEM EXTEM variables clotting time (CT), clot formation time (CFT) and alpha-angle (AA) were measured along with the individual effect of rivaroxaban on the same variables. The additive effect was calculated. The observed (potential synergistic) effects for the temperature and pH modified rivaroxaban samples on the same ROTEM variables, were registered. Differences between the additive and observed (potential synergistic) effects were analysed using matched non-parametric hypothesis testing.
resultsIn total, 13 patients were included. Hypothermia and rivaroxaban exhibited a synergistic effect on CT at 28 °C (p = 0.0002) and at 33 °C (p = 0.0007). The same applied for acidosis at pH 6.8 (p = 0.003) and pH 7.0 (p = 0.003). There were no signs of synergistic effects of rivaroxaban and temperature or acidosis on CFT. In AA there were signs of synergism at 28 °C (p = 0,001), but not at other tested temperatures or pH levels.
conclusionsThe combination rivaroxaban together with hypothermia or acidosis demonstrated inhibitory synergistic effects on haemostasis.
trial registrationThe study was retrospectively registered 2023-03-01 at ClinTrials.gov with NCT05669313.
