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

Background: Patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) frequently require vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) to treat and prevent recurrent events. Aims: We performed a study to assess the quality of anticoagulation in patients with VTE treated with VKAs using time in therapeutic range (TTR), to identify associated factors with predictors of poor control and outcomes in VTE patients. Methods: We performed an observational, retrospective study that included VTE patients treated with VKA. The primary outcome was the TTR calculated according to the Rosendaal algorithm. Results: A total of 171 VKA-treated patients were evaluated (53.2% men). The average age of our patients at diagnosis was 49.8 + 16.6 years [17-92]. VTE's most common location was the lower limbs, with 91.8% cases, proximal in 83.6%. Patients were followed for a mean period of 178 days. The mean TTR was 41.2% (standard deviation: 32.9%), and 74.3% of the patients had a mean TTR < 65%. The rates of major bleeds and thromboembolic events were 0.5 and 2.2%, respectively. After multivariate statistical analysis, age older than 65 and surgery provoked VTE were associated with better TTR. Conclusions: These results are informative and may help identify patients who require closer monitoring or innovative strategies to optimize oral anticoagulant therapy outcomes.
