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

objectivesAnticoagulants and thrombolytics may interact with anti-amyloid monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to increase intracranial hemorrhage risk, so expert guidance recommends against their co-prescription. We aimed to estimate how many people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia develop a new cardiovascular indication for anticoagulant and thrombolytic drugs.

methodsIn a longitudinal cohort of adults aged 65 years or older from the Health and Retirement Study (2010-2020) with linked Medicare claims and no previous indication for anticoagulants, cognition was categorized as normal, MCI, or dementia. We fit separate Fine-Gray survival models accounting for competing risk of death to estimate 1-year incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and stroke.

resultsAmong 12,373 participants (mean age 73 years, 59% female), the 1-year risk in those with MCI was 1.7% for AF, 1.2% for DVT, 0.4% for PE, 1.2% for AMI, 2.0% for stroke, and 5.7% for any indication. In those with dementia, the 1-year risk was 1.7% for AF, 1.8% for DVT, 0.3% for PE, 1.0% for AMI, 2.4% for stroke, and 6.7% for any indication. DISCUSSION: Our findings inform shared decision making about the tradeoffs of anti-amyloid mAbs but should be validated in populations with confirmed treatment eligibility.
