Fig 5.

Head-to-head comparisons of interventions for risk of serious adverse events (upper white fields) and major bleeding (lower shaded fields). Data are odds ratio with 95% credible interval. Figure should be read from left to right: for comparisons of the serious adverse event outcome (upper white fields) odds ratios <1 favour the row defining treatment, whereas for major bleeding (lower shaded fields), odds ratios <1 favour the column defining treatment. For example, UFH low dose conclusively increased risk of major bleeding compared with no intervention (odds ratio 2.15; 95% credible interval 1.06 to 5.46), but not to placebo (1.51; 0.68 to 3.86) or other anticoagulants. To obtain odds ratio for comparisons in the opposite direction, reciprocals should be taken. DOAC=direct oral anticoagulant; int=intermediate dose; LMWH=low-molecular-weight heparin; low=low dose; UFH=unfractionated heparin
