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

Antiplatelet agents are used worldwide mainly for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events on a long-term basis for mortality benefit. Gastrointestinal bleeding is a well-known adverse effect. Various factors are to be considered while choosing antiplatelet agents to prevent the risk of bleed and rebleed incidents. These range from deciding on the agent, timing of therapy, underlying indications, coadministration of proton pump inhibitor, etc. At the same time, one must weigh the risks of cardiovascular events secondary to the stoppage of antiplatelet therapy. With this review, we have tried to guide the clinician on decision-making regarding the care of patients on management of acute upper and lower gastrointestinal bleeding, stoppage, restarting of agents, and measures to prevent a recurrence. We have focused on aspirin and clopidogrel as they are among the most widely used antiplatelet agents.
