Oral antiplatelets in primary and secondary prevention of myocardial infarction: a review.
Review in Irish journal of medical science, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
There are a number of guidelines and articles available for the use of oral antiplatelets for primary and secondary prevention of myocardial infarction (MI). Antiplatelet medications inhibit platelet activation, aggregation, and other pathways eventually inhibiting clot formation. Aspirin and clopidogrel have been the mainstay in the management of acute coronary syndrome for about a decade. We have discussed the role of aspirin, clopidogrel, ticagrelor, and prasugrel which are the most commonly used oral antiplatelet medications in the current era. We have also considered the role of newer thrombin inhibitor vorapaxar, and dual antiplatelet therapy. In this review paper, we have summarized the continuing controversy about the use of oral antiplatelet therapy and their role in primary as well as secondary prevention of MI by describing results from major clinical trials. The safety and the efficacy of the above medications have been reviewed and described in this paper.
