A review of the use of oral anticoagulants in individuals with atrial fibrillation who had experienced intracranial hemorrhage in the past.
Review in International journal of physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology, 2025. 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
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia, significantly increasing the risk of stroke and thromboembolism. Oral anticoagulants (OACs), including direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and vitamin K antagonists (VKAs), have been shown to reduce these risks effectively. However, the administration of OACs carries a notable risk of spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), a severe complication associated with high morbidity and mortality. Patients with a history of ICH face a complex decision regarding the resumption of anticoagulation therapy, as the likelihood of recurrence is heightened in this population. Current literature reveals inconsistencies in research findings regarding the safety and efficacy of restarting OACs after ICH. A lack of definitive guidelines addressing this issue leaves clinicians uncertain about optimal management strategies. This systematic review aims to analyze existing observational studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of resuming OACs in patients with AF who have experienced ICH. The review underscores the urgent need for high-quality research to inform clinical practices and develop comprehensive guidelines for managing anticoagulation therapy in this vulnerable group.
