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

purposePharmacodynamic drug-drug interactions (PD DDIs) may influence the safety of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs), but the extent to which PD DDIs increase bleeding risks, remains unclear. Therefore, the impact of PD DDIs on bleeding outcomes in NOAC-treated patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) was investigated.

methodsUsing Belgian nationwide data, NOAC-treated AF patients were included between 2013-2019. Concomitant use of PD interacting drugs when initiating NOAC treatment was identified.

resultsAmong 193,072 patients, PD DDIs were identified in 114,122 (59.1%) subjects. After multivariable adjustment, concomitant use of PD interacting drugs was associated with significantly higher risks of major or clinically-relevant non-major bleeding (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1.19, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.13-1.24)), gastrointestinal (aHR 1.12, 95%CI (1.03-1.22)), urogenital (aHR 1.21, 95%CI (1.09-1.35)) and other bleeding (aHR 1.28, 95%CI (1.20-1.36)), compared to NOAC-treated AF patients without PD interacting drug use. Increased bleeding risks were most pronounced with P2Y

conclusionConcomitant use of PD interacting drugs, especially P2Y
