Direct oral anticoagulants for the treatment of atrial fibrillation in patients with hematologic malignancies.

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
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients with cancer due to both the proinflammatory effect of neoplastic cells and to cardiotoxicity of anti-tumor therapies. Anticoagulation is still challenging in cancer patients due to increased bleeding risk related to specific neoplasms such us hematologic malignancies. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the safety and the efficacy of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in AF patients affected by hematologic neoplasms. We included 97 patients on active anticancer treatment. The median follow-up was 25 months (range 10-108). No thromboembolic complications occurred, while 14 bleeding events were recorded: 1 major, 12 clinical relevant non major bleeding and 1 minor bleeding. Although retrospective and with a small number of enrolled patients, our data support the efficacy and safety of DOACs in patients affected by hematologic malignancies suggesting caution to particular situations, such as thrombocytopenia.
