JAMA 293:690-698,736, SPORTIF Executive Steering Committee for the SPORTIF V Investigators, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The results establish the efficacy of fixed-dose oral ximelagatran without coagulation monitoring compared with well-controlled warfarin for prevention of thromboembolism in patients with atrial fibrillation requiring chronic anticoagulant therapy, but the potential for hepatotoxicity requires further investigation.
