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

backgroundIn recent years, increasing evidence has emerged regarding the use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for the treatment of splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT) in non-cirrhotic patients. However, available data are predominantly retrospective, derived from small and heterogeneous cohorts; consequently, the use of DOACs for this indication remains off-label.

methodsTo further evaluate the safety and efficacy of DOACs in this setting, 21 consecutive patients with acute non-cirrhotic SVT were enrolled and treated with DOACs for a minimum of 6 months.

resultsNo cases of SVT progression, recurrence, or major bleeding were observed during follow-up. One patient experienced a minor bleeding event.

conclusionsThese findings are consistent with previous reports indicating a favorable safety profile of DOACs, with a low risk of bleeding. However, conclusions regarding efficacy remain uncertain, precluding definitive inferences on their effectiveness in non-cirrhotic SVT. Larger, well-designed prospective studies are required to clarify the true efficacy of DOACs in this clinical setting.
