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

Despite dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) including potent P2Y12 inhibitors, recurrent ischaemic events occur in a significant number of patients after acute coronary syndrome (ACS), warranting new antithrombotic strategies. Combinations of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant (NOAC) with antiplatelet therapy have been tested in several large phases II and III randomised trials. Overall, current evidence suggests that the use of NOACs on top of DAPT after ACS reduces the rate of recurrent ischaemic events, albeit at the price of increased risk for major bleeding. In the particular field of patients with ACS and atrial fibrillation, NOACs may be associated with reduced bleeding complications compared with vitamin K antagonist. Further randomised trials evaluating low-dose NOAC combined with single antiplatelet therapy are warranted.
