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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesDual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) reduces the incidence of thrombotic events but increases the risk of bleeding, which is associated with a substantial and durable risk of death and could offset the benefits of a reduction in thrombotic events. P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy after short-term DAPT could be an option to reduce the risk of bleeding. We carried out a meta-analysis comparing P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy after short-term DAPT with standard-term DAPT in patients undergoing PCI.

methodsWe searched the PubMed and EMBASE databases through 11 April 2020. Two authors independently reviewed and selected eligible trials. The DerSimonian-Laird method with the binary random-effects model was used to calculate the relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI).

resultsFive trials involving 23,762 patients were included in the final analyses; four were open-label trials, while the TWILIGHT trial was double-blinded. Ticagrelor was used in three trials, and the other two trials included several P2Y12 inhibitors. P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy after short-term DAPT significantly reduced the bleeding events, defined as Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type 3 or 5 bleeding and Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) major or minor bleeding, by 39% (RR 0.61, 95% CI 0.38-0.99; p = 0.045) and 46% (RR 0.56, 95% CI 0.42-0.73; p < 0.001), respectively. A significant reduction in cardiovascular death was associated with P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy after short-term DAPT (RR 0.75, 95% CI 0.58-0.98; p = 0.037; I

conclusionsThis meta-analysis showed a significantly lowered risk of major bleeding and similar benefits of P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy after short-term DAPT compared with standard-term DAPT in patients undergoing PCI.
