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.

Abstract

objectivesThe mechanisms of early neurologic deterioration (END) and prevention strategies for END are not completely understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between CYP2C19*2 variants and END, and the effectiveness of antiplatelet therapy for prevention of END according to CYP2C19*2 genotypes in patients with ischemic stroke (IS). MATERIALS AND

methodsThis was a two-center, randomized controlled study. Between August 2009 and December 2011, 570 IS patients were randomly assigned to clopidogrel plus aspirin group (n = 284) or aspirin alone group (n = 286). Platelet aggregation and platelet-leukocyte aggregates were measured before and after 7-10 days of treatment. CYP2C19*2 (rs4244285) genotypes were examined using mass spectrometry. The primary outcome was END during the 10 days of admission.

resultsAmong the 570 patients, 121 (21.2%) patients suffered from END. Carriers of CYP2C19*2 reduced-function alleles were associated with higher incidence of END (26.8% in carriers vs. 16.6% in noncarriers, P = 0.004). The incidence of END was lower in the clopidogrel plus aspirin group than in the aspirin alone group (17.6 vs. 24.8%, P = 0.032). Stratified analyses revealed that clopidogrel plus aspirin could be more effective in reducing END than aspirin alone for carriers of CYP2C19*2 reduced-function alleles (18.8 vs. 34.9%, P = 0.006). However, there was no significant difference in incidence of END between dual therapy group and monotherapy group for noncarriers (16.7 vs. 16.6%, P = 0.998).

conclusionsDual therapy with clopidogrel and aspirin may be adequate for prevention of END in carriers of CYP2C19 reduced-function alleles, but not for noncarriers. Our findings may be useful to guide precise antiplatelet therapy, and decrease the risk of END.
