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

Sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC) is a severe and frequent complication of sepsis, which is associated with high mortality in patients. So far, attempts have failed to establish a global standard of care in this difficult-to-treat indication. Anticoagulation with a dual inhibitor of the coagulation factors IIa (FIIa, thrombin) and Xa (FXa) has the potential to improve the treatment of life-threatening acute coagulation disorders, such as SIC. Herein, we describe the discovery of BAY 3389934 hydrochloride (
