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

backgroundAcute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening condition requiring effective anticoagulation therapy. Rivaroxaban, a direct oral anticoagulant, offers advantages over warfarin, yet individual patient responses vary. This study examined the efficacy of rivaroxaban compared to warfarin and evaluated vascular endothelial markers as predictors of anticoagulant efficacy.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective cross-over cohort study involving 295 patients with acute PE, comparing rivaroxaban (n = 158) and warfarin (n = 137) treatments. Clinical efficacy was assessed based on symptomatic improvement and imaging results. Vascular endothelial markers, including soluble thrombomodulin (sTM), circulating endothelial cells (CEC), and endothelin-1 (ET-1), were examined for their predictive capability in treatment outcomes, then the data of 97 additional patients were used for external validation.

resultsPatients who received rivaroxaban showed higher overall treatment response (93.04%) compared to those who took warfarin (74.45%;

conclusionRivaroxaban was more effective than warfarin in treating acute PE, with specific vascular endothelial markers serving as promising predictors of therapeutic response.
