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

BACKGROUND AND

aimDirect oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are now a well-established class of medication for blood clot prevention and treatment. So far, literature evaluating real-world data on the drug-drug interactions (DDIs) between DOACs and other medications in patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) is limited. This study aims to investigate these interactions in patients with PE to address this and improve patient care. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn a retrospective study, patients' medications were recorded upon hospital discharge and reviewed again 3 months later. A clinical decision support system (AiDKlinik

resultsThe 477 included PE patients had a median intake of five drugs. Drug-anticoagulation interactions depended strongly on the number of medications taken (P value < 0.001). However, the association was non-linear, resulting in a saturation effect for a higher number of drugs. The odds ratio for having at least one drug-anticoagulation interaction was 0.40 (95% confidence interval 0.17-0.96; P value = 0.040) in patients with hypertension.

conclusionsThe potential for DDIs with DOACs represents a significant concern. By being aware of the most common interactions, risk factors and avoidance strategies, the safety and efficacy of therapy can be optimized.
