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

Dual antiplatelet therapy is important treatment modality across the spectrum of coronary artery disease manifestations. However, a significant number of patients do not have a completely effective response to clopidogrel. This study assessed the impact of response after clopidogrel with Verify Now device on prognosis on patients undergoing coronary interventions. Consecutive patients following percutaneous coronary intervention were prospectively enrolled. A loading dose of 600 mg of clopidogrel was administered before or during PCI. Blood samples were drawn within 24 h after clopidogrel administration. The effect of clopidogrel was measured using VerifyNow. All patients were evaluated at 6 months. The primary end-point was the combination of death, MI and stroke. 378 patients (69.3 % men and 30.7 % women) were enrolled. The mean age was 67.2 ± 12.8 years, BMI 28.9 ± 17.7, and 116 patients had diabetes (30.7 %). During the 6-months follow-up 30 patients (7.94 %) experienced a monitored end-point: 12 patients (3.17 %) had MI; five patients (1.32 %) strokes and 15 patients (3.97 %) died. The remaining 248 patients (71.26 %) were end-point free. Factors associated with a poor prognosis were: leukocytes (OR 1.7 [1.2-2.4], p < 0.01), creatinine (OR 1.4 [1.1-2.5], p < 0.05) and at a borderline level the presence of AA allele of gene CYP2C19*2 (OR 2.5 [0.99-4.1], p = 0.052). The results using VerifyNow were similar between both groups (Group End-point: 208.5 ± 85.5, group No end-point 203.1 ± 91.3) and failed to show any prognostic value (OR 1.00 [0.992-1.007], p = 0.9). The measurement of clopidogrel efficacy using VerifyNow had no prognostic value for our unselected cohort of patients after PCI.
