Heparin Anticoagulant Therapy and Its Monitoring.
Review in Biomolecules, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Heparin remains a foundational parenteral anticoagulant across both acute and chronic care settings. This narrative review summarizes clinical indications and dosing of unfractionated (UFH) and low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH). It also details laboratory monitoring using activated partial thromboplastin (APTT), anti-factor Xa (anti-Xa), activated clotting time (ACT) and viscoelastic testing (VET), including common pitfalls and interferences. We provide considerations for specific populations as well as complications including heparin resistance, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) and heparin reversal strategies. Future research directions include harmonization of therapeutic ranges, mitigation of assay interference and prospective evaluation on monitoring, particular in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), pregnancy and cardiac surgical settings.
