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

purposeIt was aimed to determine the aggregated risk of MACE (major adverse cardiovascular events) in stable CAD patients carrying CYP2C19 LoF alleles taking clopidogrel.

methodsLiterature was searched in different databases for relevant studies. Aggregated risk was estimated using a fixed/random effect model where p-value<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

resultsIn total, 21 studies with 16,194 stable CAD patients were assessed. It was found that patients treated with clopidogrel carrying either one or two CYP2C19 LoF alleles who underwent PCI were associated with significantly increased risk of MACE compared to non-carriers (OR: 1.71, 95% CI: 1.51-1.94, p<0.00001) that was driven from cardiovascular death (OR: 1.43, 95% CI: 1.02-1.99, p=0.04), myocardial infarction (OR: 1.75, 95% CI: 1.42-2.16, p<0.00001), stroke (OR: 2.30, 95% CI: 1.52-3.47, p<0.0001), and stent thrombosis (OR: 4.08, 95% CI: 2.52-6.61, p<0.00001). It was also found that carriers of two CYP2C19 LoF alleles were associated with a significantly marked risk of MACE than non-carriers (OR: 2.22, 95% CI: 1.60-3.09, p<0.00001). Furthermore, the increased risk of MACE remained markedly significant in Asian patients (OR: 2.03, 95% CI: 1.72-2.40, p<0.00001) and was less significant in western patients (OR: 1.35, 95% CI: 1.11-1.63, p=0.002). Bleeding events were not significantly different in carriers of CYP2C19 LoF alleles compared to non-carriers (OR: 1.11, 95% CI: 0.85-1.45, p=0.43).

conclusionStable CAD patients treated with clopidogrel and carried CYP2C19 LoF alleles undergoing PCI were associated with significantly increased risk of MACE compared to non-carriers, even markedly significant for Asian patients.
