Prognostic impact of systolic blood pressure and antithrombotic strategy in patients with atrial fibrillation and stable coronary artery disease: a post-hoc analysis of the AFIRE trial.
Trial report in Hypertension research : official journal of the Japanese Society of Hypertension, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundsThe AFIRE (Atrial Fibrillation and Ischemic Events with Rivaroxaban in Patients with Stable Coronary Artery Disease) trial demonstrated that rivaroxaban monotherapy was non-inferior in efficacy and superior in safety compared to rivaroxaban plus single antiplatelet therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and stable coronary artery disease (CAD). This study examined whether systolic blood pressure (SBP) affects clinical outcomes and modifies the impact of antithrombotic therapy.
methodsIn this post hoc analysis, participants were stratified based on median SBP at baseline: >126 mmHg (High SBP group, n = 1042) and ≤126 mmHg (Low SBP group, n = 1093). The primary efficacy endpoint was a composite of cardiovascular events and all-cause death. The primary safety endpoint was major bleeding.
resultsThe mean SBP was 139 mmHg and 114 mmHg in the High and Low SBP groups, respectively. In the propensity score-matched cohort (n = 1684), the Low SBP group had a significantly higher incidence of the primary efficacy endpoint (hazard ratio [HR], 1.38; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-1.88; p = 0.039), while the primary safety endpoint was comparable between groups. In the Low SBP group, rivaroxaban monotherapy was associated with lower risks of both the primary efficacy (HR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.41-0.86; p = 0.006) and safety endpoints (HR, 0.40; 95% CI, 0.22-0.74; p = 0.003) compared with combination therapy, whereas no significant differences were observed in the High SBP group.
conclusionsLower SBP was associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events and all-cause death. Rivaroxaban monotherapy demonstrated more favorable efficacy and safety outcomes particularly patients with lower SBP.
