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

objectiveThis meta-analysis aimed to evaluate whether using platelet function testing (PFT) in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) to personalise antiplatelet therapy including a P2Y

methodsA search was conducted on five databases for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) conducted between 1 January 2000 and 17 July 2022, which included an ADP-specific platelet function assays and P2Y

resultsFive RCTs with 7691 patients were included in the analysis. No significant risk reduction was seen in major adverse cardiovascular events (RR=0.95, p=0.42), individual cardiac events (cardiovascular death: RR=0.76, p=0.26; myocardial infarction: RR=0.96, p=0.74; stent thrombosis: RR=0.92, p=0.83; stroke: RR=0.91, p=0.72; target vessel revascularisation: RR=1.06, p=0.47) and overall clinical outcome (RR=0.90, p=0.22). There was also no difference in the rate of bleeding between PFT-guided and standard therapies (major bleeding: RR=0.97, p=0.78, minor bleeding: RR=0.89, p=0.19 and any bleeding: RR=1.04, p=0.33).

conclusionCompared with standard DAPT with P2Y
