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

backgroundOptimal anticoagulation strategies in octogenarians remain controversial owing to age-related risks of thromboembolism and bleeding. This study evaluates real-world outcomes of reduced-dose edoxaban (15-30 mg daily) in very old populations.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of 217 patients (aged ≥ 80 years) receiving edoxaban at Peking University First Hospital (2022-2023). Patients were stratified by dosage (30 mg once daily [QD] [n = 95] versus 15 mg QD [n = 122]). Outcomes included pharmacodynamics (anti-Xa levels), clinical endpoints (bleeding, thrombosis, and mortality), and survival analysis.

resultsThe 15-mg-QD group was older (90.0 versus 85.8 years, P = 0.001) and had reduced activities of daily living (ADL) scores (65.5% versus 82.6, P = 0.003) and reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (58.6 versus 62.6 mL/min/1.73 m

conclusionsReduced-dose edoxaban demonstrates a favorable safety-efficacy profile in advanced-age patients, necessitating comprehensive bleeding-ischemic risk assessment to optimize individualized anticoagulation regimens.
