Antiplatelet or Anticoagulant Therapy for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: Growth and Clinical Outcomes.

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
backgroundIntraluminal thrombi in the abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) were demonstrated to increase aneurysm growth. The effect of treatments on thrombus reduction upon AAA enlargement and clinical endpoints is uncertain Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy on AAA growth and clinical outcomes.
methodA total of 357 patients with AAAs were enrolled in this study. They were divided into 2 groups based on their medical therapies. Patients on antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy were assigned to group 1 (n = 234) and group 2 (n = 92), respectively.
resultsThe greatest reduction in thrombus diameter change was observed in patients with anticoagulant therapy (group 1, -2.26 mm; group 2, -8.16 mm; P =.001). The greatest aneurysmal enlargement was found in patients with antiplatelet therapy. There was less AAA progression with anticoagulant therapy than with the other therapy (group 1, 2.08 mm; group 2, 1.31 mm P =.027. The more operational need was observed in patients with antiplatelet therapy than in patients with anticoagulant therapy ( group 1 67, group 2 16, P =.036) Conclusion: In our study, it was revealed that anticoagulant therapy has been associated with decreased thrombus diameter and less aneurysmal enlargement compared with antiplatelet therapy. Furthermore, this beneficial effect on the thrombus size and aneurysmal diameter decreased the operational need in patients with anticoagulant therapy.
