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

Although previous clinical trials demonstrated that ticagrelor could reduce cardiovascular events and mortality versus clopidogrel in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), the real-world evidence of its clinical impacts on East Asian Diabetic population has rarely been investigated.Between November 2013 and June 2015, 1534 patients were recruited into the Acute Coronary Syndrome-Diabetes Mellitus Registry of the Taiwan Society of Cardiology (TSOC ACS-DM registry). After propensity score matching, a total of 730 patients undergoing successful revascularization and discharged on ticagrelor (N = 365) or clopidogrel (N = 365) were analyzed. The primary and secondary endpoints were all-cause mortality and re-hospitalization, respectively. The all-cause death associated with ticagrelor vs clopidogrel was 3.6% vs 7.4% (adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 0.34 [0.15-0.80]; P = .0138) at 24 months. The re-hospitalization rate at 24 months was 38.9% vs 39.2% (P = .3258).For diabetic patients with ACS, ticagrelor provided better survival benefit than clopidogrel without an increase of re-hospitalization in 24 months after successful percutaneous coronary intervention. This study in real-world circumstance provided valuable complementary data to externally validate platelet inhibition and patient outcomes (PLATO) finding especially in Asian diabetic population.
