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

Warfarin is a commonly employed anticoagulant drug aimed at rapidly reaching the optimal international normalized ratio (INR), potentially reducing the hospitalization time in clinical settings. However, limited research has been conducted on the influencing factors and the safety implications of promptly reaching the target INR range in patients with valvular heart disease who have undergone valve replacement or repair. The present study aimed to assess the factors related to the safety considerations of rapidly reaching the target INR range in patients treated with warfarin. A retrospective cohort investigation was performed on hospitalized patients treated with warfarin between July 2022 and June 2023. Patient data were gathered from patient documentation. A total of 175 patients were included in the current study. The mean time to reach an effective INR threshold was 9.8 days (median, 3-28 days). Age >65 years, body mass index <24 kg/m
