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
Background: This study described the clinical and demographic characteristics of hospitalized patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and prescriptions for vitamin-K antagonists (VKA) and direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOAC) in Spain. Methods: This was an observational, multicentric, retrospective study of patients treated with DOAC or VKA due to NVAF at cardiology services of hospitals in Spain. A registry (CARISMA) included patients hospitalized for any reason and discharged before July 1st, 2021, with a prescription for DOAC or VKA. Data was collected on demographic and clinical characteristics and anticoagulant treatments prescribed. Analyses were descriptive. Results: A total of 1,041 patients were included. Mean age (SD) was 77.2 (10.3) years and 57.6 % were men. The most frequent reason for hospital admission was heart failure (43.8 %) and arrhythmias (25.0 %). The mean (SD) CHA Conclusion: Before hospitalization, a quarter of patients with NVAF were not receiving anticoagulation medication. Hospitalization increased the proportion of patients receiving DOAC, but about a quarter of patients had off-label dosing prescriptions.
