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

objectivesTo assess the impact of stent type on the risk of death or myocardial infarction (MI) related to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) more than 12 months (prolonged DAPT) versus 12 or less months after PCI for an acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

backgroundThe recent DAPT study reported lower recurrent ischemic events from prolonged DAPT in patients treated with PCI for an ACS, but was underpowered to determine the impact of stent type.

methodsWe determined clinical outcomes after PCI for an ACS (median follow-up: DES = 26 months, BMS = 46 months) in 18,484 patients in the Veterans Affairs system treated with first generation drug-eluting stents (DES) or bare-metal stents (BMS). We used landmark analyses starting 1 year after the index PCI to assess the risk of prolonged DAPT on the primary endpoint of death or MI. Multivariable and propensity models adjusted for confounding.

resultsThere was a significant interaction between stent type and prolonged DAPT for death and MI (P = 0.0036), death (P = 0.054), and major bleeding (P = 0.0013). Patients treated with prolonged DAPT had lower risks of death or MI (HR = 0.71, 95% CI = 0.61, 0.82) and death (HR = 0.74, 95%CI = 0.62, 0.89) with DES, but not BMS, and higher risks of major bleeding, particularly with BMS (HR = 1.67, P < 0.001) than DES (HR = 1.24, p = 0.01).

conclusionsProlonging DAPT more than 12 months after PCI for ACS only associated with a lower risk of ischemic events in the 1-4 years after PCI in those receiving first generation DES. Stent type may influence the benefit of prolonged DAPT. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
