Proton pump inhibitor in the prevention of upper gastrointestinal mucosal injury associated with dual antiplatelet therapy after coronary artery bypass grafting (DACAB-GI-2): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Trials, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03908593 (Evaluation of the Efficacy of Different Duration of a Proton Pump Inhibitor in the Prevention of Upper Gastrointestinal Mucosal Injury in Patients Taking 12-month Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundDual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is recommended in secondary prevention after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), but it is inevitably associated with the risk of bleeding, of which gastrointestinal bleeding accounts for more than half. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may increase the risk of major cardiovascular adverse events when reducing the risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Therefore, the optimal duration of a PPI in combination with DAPT is unclear.
methodsThe "Proton Pump Inhibitor Preventing Upper Gastrointestinal Injury in Patients on Dual Antiplatelet Therapy after CABG" (DACAB-GI-2) study is a prospective, single-center, open-label, parallel, randomized controlled trial. A total of 232 eligible subjects who are scheduled or initiated on DAPT (clopidogrel plus aspirin or ticagrelor plus aspirin) for 12 months immediately after CABG will be enrolled and be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either a 12-month pantoprazole treatment arm or a 1-month treatment arm. The primary outcome is to assess the rate of gastroduodenal erosions and ulcers evaluated by esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) within 12 months after randomization, based on the modified Lanza score. Secondary outcomes include reflux esophagitis and upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Other pre-specified outcomes include major adverse cardiovascular events, graft failure, and all-cause death. DISCUSSION: This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of 12 months and 1 month of pantoprazole treatment in preventing DAPT-related upper gastrointestinal mucosal injury after CABG.
