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

About 20% of all atrial fibrillation (AF) patients develop coronary artery disease, which requires coronary stenting [percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)]. Thus, this subcohort of AF patients may require aggressive antithrombotic therapy encompassing vitamin K antagonist (VKA) or non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOAC) plus aspirin and a P2Y12 inhibitor. At present, four clinical Phase IIIb trials using dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, or edoxaban, were published. These studies assessed the impact of NOACs as a part of DAT therapy vs. triple therapy. Compared with triple therapy, NOAC-based DAT has been shown to be associated with reduced major bleeding as well as intracranial haemorrhages. The benefit, however, is somewhat counterbalanced by a higher risk of stent-related ischaemia during the early phase of dual therapy. Thus, triple therapy after stenting is appropriate for at least 14 days with a maximum of 30 days. Thereafter, DAT including a NOAC is the therapy of choice in AF PCI patients to reduce the risk of bleeding during a 1 year of follow-up compared to VKA-based regimes. The present review summarizes the published study results and demonstrates differences in trial design and reported outcomes.
