Comparative Risk of Major Bleeding With Concomitant Use of Oral Anticoagulants and Corticosteroid Bursts.

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
The choice of oral anticoagulants and oral corticosteroid (OCS) burst cotherapy may influence the risk of major bleeding; however, this risk remains poorly characterized. We aimed to quantify the comparative safety of non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) versus warfarin on major bleeding while receiving OCS burst cotherapy among patients with atrial fibrillation. A nationwide population-based cohort study was conducted using the National Health Insurance Research Database. We examined associations between NOACs (edoxaban, apixaban, dabigartran, or rivaroxaban) or warfarin with OCS burst cotherapy and major bleeding. We measured the risk by estimating incidence, incidence risk ratios (IRRs), and adjusted hazard ratios (AHRs) after adjusting for baseline differences using overlap weighting. In this study, among 239,693 patients receiving oral anticoagulants, 50,390 (21%) received at least one OCS burst, defined as OCS use for less than 30 days, were included. A lower risk of major bleeding related to OCS burst cotherapy with NOACs versus warfarin was noted (AHR = 0.57 [95% CI = 0.52-0.61]). The greatest incidence was observed in patients with warfarin and OCS burst cotherapy (67.30 per 1000 person-years). The incidence for patients prescribing OCS burst cotherapy with edoxaban (30.36 per 1000 person-years; IRR = 0.45 [95% CI = 0.38-0.53]), apixaban (34.93 per 1000 person-years; IRR = 0.52 [95% CI = 0.45-0.60]), dabigatran (42.47 per 1000 person-years; IRR = 0.63 [95% CI = 0.56-0.72]), and rivaroxaban (46.99 per 1000 person-years; IRR = 0.70 [95% CI = 0.63-0.77]), separately, was lower than that with warfarin. The results reveal that the incidence of major bleeding was lowest for edoxaban and highest for warfarin, with notable differences in incidence rates across NOACs among patients receiving oral anticoagulants and OCS burst cotherapy.
