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: Fondaparinux sodium, a synthetic pentose sugar, selectively inhibits factor Xa and is mainly used to prevent venous thromboembolism during major lower extremity orthopedic surgeries. It is also utilized for treating unstable angina pectoris and non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Given its extensive clinical application, comprehensive evaluation of its safety profile in clinical practice is essential. Methods: This pharmacovigilance investigation systematically evaluated the post-marketing safety profile of fondaparinux sodium by leveraging real-world data from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database (Q1 2004 to Q3 2024), where fondaparinux sodium was the primary suspected drug. To further validate the robustness and generalizability of our findings, we cross-referenced the identified signals with data from two external sources: the VigiAccess database (Q2 2003 to Q4 2025) and the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report (JADER) database (Q2 2007 to Q2 2025). Disproportionality analyses employed the reporting odds ratio (ROR), proportional reporting ratio (PRR), Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN), and multiple empirical Bayes Gamma-Poisson shrinker (MGPS). Furthermore, sensitivity analyses were conducted to ensure the robustness of the results. Finally, the optimal parametric model was applied to estimate the temporal risk of adverse events (AEs). Results: In the FAERS database, we identified 5,700 fondaparinux sodium-related AE reports, corresponding to 17,061 unique Preferred Terms (PTs). Time-to-onset analysis ( Conclusion: This study serves as a hypothesis-generating inquiry into the real-world safety of fondaparinux sodium. While our findings align with established adverse reaction profiles, they also highlight potential novel signals that warrant further investigation. These insights provide valuable reference points for clinical monitoring, particularly in special populations, though further epidemiological studies are needed to verify causality.
