Betrixaban for Deep Venous Thrombosis Prevention in a Patient with End-Stage Renal Disease on Intermittent Hemodialysis.
Article in Journal of biosciences and medicines, 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
Betrixaban is an oral factor Xa inhibitor that is indicated for venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in hospitalized patients. It has minimal renal excretion, but it is not well studied in patients with severe renal dysfunction or patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In this evaluation, we discuss betrixaban use in a patient with ESRD on intermittent hemodialysis (HD) and a history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) and contraindication to heparin therapy due to a positive platelet factor 4 IgG antibody. The patient was started on betrixaban for VTE prophylaxis, dosed as 80 mg once followed by 40 mg daily for a total of 15 days of therapy before they were discharged. The patient was continued on their home dialysis schedule of three times weekly and received a total of seven sessions of HD while admitted. Several anti-Xa levels collected after the second dose of betrixaban ranged between 0.12 and 0.32 IU/mL, which were within the predicted therapeutic range for betrixaban based on previous pre-clinical studies. A trough level drawn on day 7 of 0.15 IU/mL indicated the absence of accumulation. Betrixaban was well tolerated with no reported bleeding or VTE events. This case report demonstrates the successful use of betrixaban without accumulation for a patient with ESRD on HD. Betrixaban may be a potential choice when standard options are unsuitable for VTE prophylaxis or in patients with contraindications to other treatments.
