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

Vorapaxar (SCH 530348) and atopaxar (E5555) are oral protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1) antagonists with high bioavailability. They inhibits thrombin induced platelet aggregation by competitively inhibiting PAR-1. We systematically evaluated the evidence for the efficacy and safety of all PAR-1 antagonists as well as for the individual drugs vorapaxar and atopaxar in different databases-PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane register of Controlled Clinical Trials (CENTRAL).We selected randomized controlled trials of PAR-1 antagonists that reported on cardiovascular mortality as a clinical outcome. The random-effects Mantel-Haenszel model was used to evaluate the effect of PAR-1 antagonists on cardiovascular mortality. Seven trials were selected (N = 42,355) for analysis. PAR-1 antagonists as a class, as well as individually, were associated with a non-significant numerically lower risk of cardiovascular mortality than that seen with agents used in the control group; RR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.83-1.04; P = 0.20). No heterogeneity was noted. However, PAR-1 antagonists also appeared to increase the risk of bleeding significantly. PAR-1 antagonists appear to be associated with some reduction in the risk of cardiovascular mortality; however the significantly higher bleeding risk noted with PAR-1 antagonists appear to mandate a very careful selection of patients that may benefit without a substantially increased risk of bleeds.
