A retrospective observational study of the use of gastroprotection for patients on dual antiplatelet therapy.

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
Dual antiplatelet therapy is recommended for secondary prevention of ischaemic events in coronary artery disease. Some patients, who may be at high bleed risk if other factors are present, should be considered for gastroprotection. In our survey, we assessed whether gastroprotection was prescribed for hospital inpatients, especially high-risk patients, who were receiving dual antiplatelet therapy at discharge, and the type of gastroprotection prescribed. We found that over 13 months, a total of 1,693 patient episodes were prescribed dual antiplatelet therapy at discharge, of which 71% also received gastroprotection. Of the patient episodes who were not prescribed gastroprotection, 46% (223/483) met the criterion of age as a risk factor for gastroprotection. A further 30 episodes met other risk criteria of certain concomitant drugs or prior comorbidity. There is a need among clinicians and pharmacy teams within the hospital for recognition and management of this opportunity to improve the care of these patients.
