Aspirin treatment failure: is this a real phenomenon? A review of the aetiology and how to treat it.
Article in JRSM short reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Multiple clinical trials have shown that aspirin can reduce all cardiovascular events in primary and secondary prevention and yet there is a large population in whom aspirin fails. This review brings together the evidence and controversies surrounding the definition of 'aspirin treatment failure', its clinical significance and the possible approaches to managing such patients. Several different assays have been developed to measure the biochemical action of aspirin. At present there is no 'gold standard' and there is massive disparity between methods. Studies thus far have shown inconsistent results and to date the treatment of aspirin therapy failure is left to the discretion of the leading physician.
