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

introductionCoronary allograft vasculopathy can cause as many deaths as infections or rejection episodes within 3 years following heart transplantation.

aimTo compare the aspirin resistance rate in an allograft heart transplantation population and in a control group by laboratory tests including the Aspirin-Resistant Patients Identification Test (ASPItest). MATERIAL AND

methodsA total of 24 heart recipients (20 men and 4 women) at a mean age of 48 ±13 years who underwent routine clinical follow-up were consecutively enrolled in group 1. The control group consisted of 24 patients (19 men and 5 women) at a mean age of 64 ±7 years waiting for coronary artery bypass grafting in our department. All patients were treated with a standard dose of 75 mg aspirin (ASA) daily.

resultsAspirin resistance was evaluated by the Multiplate platelet function test. The ASPItest revealed a mean value of 27 ±22 U in the transplant group. Results above 30 U were obtained in 8 (34%) patients, with a mean value of 50.3 ±20.6 U, indicating aspirin resistance. In the control group ASPItest results above 30 U were obtained in 5 (20%) patients, with a mean value of 43.3 ±6.4 U.

conclusionsThere is a high incidence (34% vs. 20%, NS) of ASA resistance in heart transplantation recipients and in the general population, respectively.
