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: High on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity (HPR) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with increased ischemic risk. It is unclear whether conventional definitions of HPR apply to patients with concomitant oral anticoagulation (OAC). This study aimed to compare the performance of multiple platelet aggregometry (MEA) and thrombelastography (TEG) to detect HPR in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and indication for an OAC. Methods: In this observational single-center cohort study, MEA and TEG were performed in patients with AF with an indication for OAC on day 1 to 3 after PCI. The primary outcome was HPR as assessed by MEA (ADP area under the curve ≥ 46 units [U]) or TEG (MAADP ≥ 47 mm), respectively. The secondary exploratory outcomes were a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke and bleeding, as defined by the International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis, at 6 months. Results: Platelet function of 39 patients was analyzed. The median age was 78 (interquartile range [IQR] was 72−82) years. 25 (64%) patients were male, and 19 (49%) presented with acute coronary syndrome. All patients received acetylsalicylic acid and clopidogrel prior to PCI. Median (IQR) ADP-induced aggregation, MAADP, TRAP-induced aggregation, and MAthrombin were 9 (6−15) U, 50 (43−60) mm, 54 (35−77) U and 65 (60−67) mm, respectively. The rate of HPR was significantly higher if assessed by TEG compared with MEA (25 [64%] vs. 1 [3%]; p < 0.001). Within 6 months, four (10%) deaths, one (3%) MI and nine (23%) bleeding events occurred. Conclusion: In patients with AF undergoing PCI, the rates of HPR detected by TEG were significantly higher compared with MEA. Conventional cut-off values for HPR as proposed by consensus documents may need to be re-evaluated for this population at high ischemic and bleeding risk. Further studies are needed to assess the association with outcomes.
