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

backgroundPatients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) were excluded from pivotal trials comparing the efficacy and safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and vitamin K antagonists.

methodsOur retrospective cohort study using the TriNetX database compared adults with HCM-atrial fibrillation who initiated DOACs or vitamin K antagonists. The primary outcomes were all-cause mortality and ischemic stroke/systemic thromboembolism. Secondary outcomes included major bleeding, intracranial hemorrhage, gastrointestinal bleeding, and all-cause hospitalization. Subgroup analysis was conducted for obstructive HCM.

resultsAmong 13 143 patients with HCM-atrial fibrillation (2963 matched pairs). DOAC use was associated with lower all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 0.82[ 95% CI, 0.73-0.93];

conclusionsAmong patients with HCM-atrial fibrillation, DOACs were associated with lower mortality and bleeding risk compared with vitamin K antagonists, with no increased risk of stroke or systemic thromboembolism.
