Comparative Efficacy and Safety of Direct Oral Anticoagulants Versus Warfarin in Atrial Fibrillation Patients with Chronic Liver Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Review in The Journal of innovations in cardiac rhythm management, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent cardiac arrhythmia. Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), with superior efficacy and safety, have emerged as a promising alternative to warfarin. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of DOACs and warfarin in patients with AF and chronic liver disease (CLD). A systematic search was undertaken in PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar to identify studies comparing the effectiveness of DOACs and warfarin in patients diagnosed with AF and CLD. Subsequent analyses were carried out using the random-effects model. This meta-analysis included eight studies involving 20,684 participants; baseline characteristics indicated a prevalent male presence (56.7%), with an average age of 61.63 ± 9 years. Primary outcomes demonstrated that DOACs were associated with significantly reduced all-cause mortality (relative risk [RR], 0.73; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.56-0.95;
