Optimal dual antiplatelet therapy strategy in elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome.

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
One out of three hospitalizations for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) involve nowadays elderly patients, carrying together a significant burden of comorbidities and a higher risk of complications. In particular, both ischemic and haemorrhagic risk are markedly enhanced in advanced age, and strictly interconnected, challenging the management of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in these patients. The recent development of several therapeutic options in terms of duration and combination of antiplatelet agents have offered a wider spectrum of opportunities for a more individualized approach in the management of DAPT after an ACS, although the criteria for the selection of the most appropriate strategy in each patient still lack validation. In particular, dose-adjustment, early aspirin discontinuation, laboratory-driven tailoring and shorter or extended DAPT have been addressed with promising safety and efficacy results. The present review provides an updated overview on the emerging evidencefrom randomized clinical trials and subanalyses dedicated to the management of DAPT in elderly patients presenting with ACS.
